Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the ISC DHCP client, relay and server.
- CVE-2022-2928
It was discovered that the DHCP server does not correctly perform option reference counting when configured with "allow leasequery;". A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (daemon crash).
- CVE-2022-2929
It was discovered that the DHCP server is prone to a memory leak flaw when handling contents of option 81 (fqdn) data received in a DHCP packet. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause DHCP servers to consume resources, resulting in denial of service.
