Hi--

Are folks familiar with:

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2011-0997
  http://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/advisories/cve-2011-0997
  http://nakedsecurity.sophos.com/2011/04/07/flaw-in-iscs-dhclient-could-allow-remote-code-execution/

Checking http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sbin/dhclient/dhclient.c, I don't see signs that it may have been updated.  But, I also can't readily tell which version of dhclient FreeBSD actually has and how much it might have been changed from the ISC version.  :-)

Regards,
