RHBA-2011:1027 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

Updated libdhcp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

libdhcp enables programs to invoke and control the Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP) clients: the Internet Software Consortium (ISC) IPv4 DHCP client
library, libdhcp4client, and the IPv6 DHCPv6 client library, libdhcp6client.

This update fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, the libdhcp4client client library did not support IP

over InfiniBand (IPoIB) devices. With this update, libdhcp is rebuilt against
the latest libdhcp4client packages, which add support for IPoIB devices.
(BZ#694570)

All users of libdhcp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which fix this bug.
