high Nessus Plugin ID 62402

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A security issue was identified and fixed in dhcp :

ISC DHCP 4.1.x before 4.1-ESV-R7 and 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) in opportunistic circumstances by establishing an IPv6 lease in an environment where the lease expiration time is later reduced (CVE-2012-3955).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
