The Debian security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Debian:14.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream isc-dhcp package and not the isc-dhcp package as distributed by Debian.
Multiple memory leaks in ISC DHCP 4.1.x and 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P1 and 4.1-ESV before 4.1-ESV-R6 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) by sending many requests.
