==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 15.10
- Ubuntu 15.04
- Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

DHCP server, client, or relay could be made to crash if they received
specially crafted network traffic.

Software Description:
- isc-dhcp: DHCP server and client

Details:
