Are a patch and an announcement for the ISC DHCPD format string
vulnerability/remote root hole imminent? See

http://www.extremetech.com/article/0,3396,apn=2&s=1024&a=26709&ap=1,00.asp

for info.... It is not at all hyperbolic to say that a worm which
exploits this bug on a few key platforms could take down huge chunks 
of the Internet as well as many, many LANs attached to it.
