OpenBSD 5.5 errata 9, June 30, 2014: Packets with illegal DHCP options
can lead to memory exhaustion of dhclient(8) or dhcpd(8). This is the
second version of this patch.
Apply patch using:
signify -Vep /etc/signify/openbsd-55-base.pub -x 009_dhcp.patch.sig \
-m - | (cd /usr/src && patch -p0)
And then rebuild and install dhclient and dhcpd:
cd sbin/dhclient
make obj
make cleandir
make depend
make
make install
cd ../../usr.sbin/dhcpd
make obj
make cleandir
make depend
make
make install
