Synopsis
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
dhcpd as included in the ISC DHCP implementation does not properly
handle special conditions, leading to a Denial of Service.
Background
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
ISC DHCP is the reference implementation of the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol as specified in RFC 2131.
Affected packages
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/dhcp < 3.1.2_p1 >=3D 3.1.2_p1
Description
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Christoph Biedl discovered that dhcpd does not properly handle certain
DHCP requests when configured both using "dhcp-client-identifier" and
"hardware ethernet".
Impact
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
A remote attacker might send a specially crafted request to dhcpd,
possibly resulting in a Denial of Service (daemon crash).
Workaround
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
All ISC DHCP users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose =3Dnet-misc/dhcp-3.1.2_p1
