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dhclient is out-of-date and the last update to the package was from September last year.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.

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.
