Synopsis

The remote CentOS host is missing a security update for dhcp-client.

Description

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dhcp-4.4.2-17.b1.el9 build changelog.

 - BIND 9.11.0 -> 9.11.36 9.12.0 -> 9.16.26 9.17.0 -> 9.18.0 BIND Supported Preview Editions: 9.11.4-S1 -> 9.11.36-S1 9.16.8-S1 -> 9.16.26-S1 Versions of BIND 9 earlier than those shown - back to 9.1.0, including Supported Preview Editions - are also believed to be affected but have not been tested as they are EOL.
 The cache could become poisoned with incorrect records leading to queries being made to the wrong servers, which might also result in false information being returned to clients. (CVE-2021-25220)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution
