Correct me if I'm wrong, but the OpenBSD dhclient is a modified
version of the ISC one.  At least that is what the first few comments
that contain ISC's license at the top if the source code file seem to
say:
" * Copyright (c) 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999
 * The Internet Software Consortium.    All rights reserved."

Is the most recent bug in dhclient one of the ones that was fixed in
OpenBSD 7 years ago the way many security bugs are?
