   An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata
   is now available.

Description:


   This update for dhcp fixes the following issues:

   Security issue fixed:
   - CVE-2016-2774: Fixed a denial of service attack against the DHCP server
     over the OMAPI TCP socket, which could be used by network adjacent
     attackers to make the DHCP server non-functional (bsc#969820).

   Non security issues fixed:
   - Rename freeaddrinfo(), getaddrinfo() and getnameinfo() in the internal
     libirs library that does not consider /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf
     to use irs_ prefix. This prevents name conflicts which would result in
     overriding standard glibc functions used by libldap. (bsc#972907)
