FreeBSD box.localnet 9.2-RC2 FreeBSD 9.2-RC2 #1 r254680M: Fri Aug 23 07:44:25 UTC 2013     root at box.localnet:/sys/amd64/compile/GENERIC  amd64
>Description:
After applying the security patch dhclient doesn't work. Reverting the patch fixes it again. Tested on 9.2-RC2 and 9.1-RELEASE-p*. Same behaviour.

A tcpdump shows the broadcast to 255.255.255.255 port 67 for the address request including my MAC address and the reply from the dhcp server, however dhclient just times every time.

>How-To-Repeat:
Apply the patch for CVE-2013-3077 to 9.1 or 9.2 and try to use dhclient to obtain an IP address.

>Fix:
Revert the patch (which is probably not what people really want).
