dhcp: buffer overflows

Package(s):dhcp CVE #(s):CAN-2004-0460 CAN-2004-0461
Created:June 23, 2004 Updated:July 14, 2004
Description: Two separate buffer overflows have been found in versions 3.0.1rc12 and 3.0.1rc13 of the ISC DHCP server. These overflows can be exploited by a remote attacker to cause a denial of service, or, potentially, to execute arbitrary code. DHCP servers should not be exposed to the Internet, but this problem is worth fixing regardless. See this CERT advisory for more information.
