* A stack overflow vulnerability was fixed in dhclient that could allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands as root on the system, or simply terminate the client, by providing an over-long subnet-mask option.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
ISC DHCP 4.1.x will have several new DHCPv6 features that were not in DHCP 4.0.x. These new features include:
* Support for the rapid-commit option on the client side
* Prefix Delegation support
* IA_TA address support
* A basic DHCPv6 relay agent
* basic DHCPv6 Leasequery support
configuration files and binaries in a number of cases. This should hopefully
fix them all. Without this patch they look in /etc only and fail to start
if the file is not present.
freely redistributable reference implementation of all aspects of
DHCP, through a suite of DHCP tools:
* A DHCP server
* A DHCP client
* A DHCP relay agent
These tools all use a modular API which is designed to be sufficiently
general that it can easily be made to work on POSIX-compliant
operating systems and also non-POSIX systems like Windows NT and
MacOS.
The DHCP server, client and relay agent are provided both as
reference implementations of the protocol and as working, fully-featured
sample implementations. Both the client and the server provide
functionality that, while not strictly required by the protocol,
is very useful in practice. The DHCP server also makes allowances
for non-compliant clients which one might still like to support.
This package contains the Base component.
