-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 =========================================================================== AUSCERT External Security Bulletin Redistribution ESB-2012.0734 Moderate: dhcp security update 3 August 2012 =========================================================================== AusCERT Security Bulletin Summary --------------------------------- Product: dhcp Publisher: Red Hat Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS/Desktop 5 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server 6 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS/Desktop 6 Impact/Access: Denial of Service -- Remote/Unauthenticated Resolution: Patch/Upgrade CVE Names: CVE-2012-3954 CVE-2012-3571 Reference: ESB-2012.0700 Original Bulletin: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1140.html https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1141.html Comment: This bulletin contains two (2) Red Hat security advisories. - --------------------------BEGIN INCLUDED TEXT-------------------- - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ===================================================================== Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Moderate: dhcp security update Advisory ID: RHSA-2012:1140-01 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2012-1140.html Issue date: 2012-08-03 CVE Names: CVE-2012-3571 ===================================================================== 1. Summary: Updated dhcp packages that fix one security issue are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the CVE link in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 3. Description: The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast address. A denial of service flaw was found in the way the dhcpd daemon handled zero-length client identifiers. A remote attacker could use this flaw to send a specially-crafted request to dhcpd, possibly causing it to enter an infinite loop and consume an excessive amount of CPU time. (CVE-2012-3571) Upstream acknowledges Markus Hietava of the Codenomicon CROSS project as the original reporter of this issue. Users of DHCP should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing this update, all DHCP servers will be restarted automatically. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/knowledge/articles/11258 5.
