Topic

Updated dhcp packages that fix one bug are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

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.
The dhcp packages provide a relay agent and ISC DHCP service required to enable
and administer DHCP on a network.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, the DHCP server process tried to allocate memory for the dhcpd.leases file to load it. As a consequence, the DHCP server process terminated unexpectedly. With this update, when the replay mode is disabled, the DHCP server process does not try to allocate memory for the whole dhcpd.leases file, and the described problem no longer occurs. (BZ#1607639)

Users of dhcp are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which fix this bug.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
