CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:9 isc-dhcp to version 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5 or higher.

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. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

The logging functionality in dhcpd in ISC DHCP before 4.2.3-P2, when using Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and issuing IPv6 addresses, does not properly handle the DHCPv6 lease structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via crafted packets related to a lease-status update.
