+ dhcpcd is a standards compliant DHCP client daemon. It requests an
+ IP address and other information from the DHCP server, automatically
+ configures the network interface, and tries to renew the lease time.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ infamous42md discovered that dhcpcd can be tricked to read past
+ the end of the supplied DHCP buffer. As a result, this might lead to a
+ crash of the daemon.
