Advisory says:
| libdns in ISC DHCP 4.2.x before 4.2.5-P1 allows remote name servers to
| cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving a
| regular expression, as demonstrated by a memory-exhaustion attack
| against a machine running a dhcpd process, a related issue to
| CVE-2013-2266.

I'd rather avoid taking chances at this very late stage. Before rc2
would have been doable, but now… not so much.
