Releases
Details
Florian Hackenberger discovered a memory corruption bug in dhcdbd (the
NetworkManager daemon for processing DHCP operations). Invalid DHCP
responses crashed dhcdbd, which caused NetworkManager to not work any
more.
Update instructions
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
Ubuntu 6.06
-
dhcdbd
-
1.10-0ubuntu11.1
In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.
