Debian has recently distributed a security advisory on the dhcp-2.0pl5
package they distribute.  You can read about that here:

    http://www.debian.org/security/2004/dsa-584

The following versions of ISC DHCP are vulnerable:

    dhcp-2.0:  All versions are vulnerable.
    dhcp-3.0:  dhcp-3.0b1pl17 and previous versions are vulnerable.

All users of these versions should upgrade to the latest dhcp-3
release, currently dhcp-3.0.1.


Note: If for some reason upgrading from dhcp-2 is not possible, you
may also consider applying this patch:

    ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/dhcp-2.0-history/dhcp-2.0pl6.patch
    ftp://ftp.isc.org/isc/dhcp/dhcp-2.0-history/dhcp-2.0pl6.patch.asc

But users are strongly advised to make the upgrade to dhcp-3 now.
