This is old news. I spotted the problem several months ago.

For a non-vulnerable UNIX system try Redhat-5.2. Regardless, RedHat don't
enable bootpd by default (dhcp is used).

Oh, I think OpenBSD fixed this too. One of the few vendors who actually
take note when you explain there is a security bug.
