Severity: normal
Exploitable: remote
Date: January 06, 2014
Bug(s): #463848
ID: 201401-05

Synopsis

A memory exhaustion vulnerability in ISC DHCP could lead to Denial
of Service.


Background

ISC DHCP is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client/server.

Affected Packages

Package: net-misc/dhcp
Vulnerable: < 4.2.5_p1
Unaffected: >= 4.2.5_p1
Architectures: All supported architectures


Description

ISC DHCP is vulnerable to a memory exhaustion attack involving regular
expressions sent by DHCP clients.


Impact

A remote attacker could send a specially crafted request from a
malicious or spoofed client, potentially leading to a Denial of Service
condition.


Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
