ISC has disclosed a security vulnerability in dhcpd:

| Due to improper handling of a DHCPv6 lease structure, ISC DHCP
| servers that are serving IPv6 address pools AND using Dynamic DNS
| can encounter a segmentation fault error while updating lease status
| under certain conditions. The potential exists for this condition to
| be intentionally triggered, resulting in effective denial of service
| to clients expecting service from the affected server.

This seems of low impact.  According to ISC, the squeeze version
should not be affected, so no action seems required for
stable-security.
