Hi,
dhclient is out-of-date and the last update to the package was from September last year. In order to fix this bug:
FS#15515 - [dhclient] DHCP Stack Overflow in 'dhclient' script_write_params() (http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/15515)
I has managed to compile version 3.1.2p1 which fixes the security issue. In order to compile I had to clean up the PKGBUILD and removed the patches from our release.
I have tested the package and it works. But please test the new package which is in [testing]. Maybe I have overseen some critical part of the patches and something doesn't work anymore. I will post a signoff mail after I have build it for i686.
Daniel
I don't know much about the patches anymore, but I see one was for networkmanager. FYI: Networkmanager switched to dhcpcd since the 0.7 series, so there's no need to patch anything for networkmanager in dhclient.
Thanks for the info, so it was right to remove those patch.
