How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 isc-kea to version 1.7.5-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream isc-kea package and not the isc-kea package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

A missing check on incoming client requests can be exploited to cause a situation where the Kea server's lease storage contains leases which are rejected as invalid when the server tries to load leases from storage on restart. If the number of such leases exceeds a hard-coded limit in the Kea code, a server trying to restart will conclude that there is a problem with its lease store and give up. Versions affected: 1.4.0 to 1.5.0, 1.6.0-beta1, and 1.6.0-beta2
