This is a different vulnerability than the one referenced to with CA-2002-12. This new vulnerability has been assigned CAN-2004-1006 in order to provide a unique identifier to this vulnerability. This vulnerability is only present in version 2.x of dhcp. The data for this id should become visible during the next days: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1006 Regards, Joey -- Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a good idea.
