NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream open-iscsi package and not the open-iscsi package as distributed by Echo. See How to fix? for Echo:latest relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in open-iscsi. An integer underflow vulnerability in the iscsiuio component, specifically during IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) parsing, allows a remote attacker on the same local network segment to cause a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted IPv4/UDP DHCP reply, the attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to the iscsiuio process crashing. This issue affects systems where iscsiuio is actively handling IPv4 DHCP traffic.
