[slackware-security]  dhcpcd (SSA:2014-213-02)

New dhcpcd packages are available for Slackware 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1,
and -current to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.1 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/dhcpcd-6.0.5-i486-3_slack14.1.txz:  Rebuilt.
  This update fixes a security issue where a specially crafted packet
  received from a malicious DHCP server causes dhcpcd to enter an infinite
  loop causing a denial of service.
  Thanks to Tobias Stoeckmann for the bug report.
  (* Security fix *)
