NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream kea-doc package and not the kea-doc package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

If a DHCPv4 client sends a request with some specific options, and Kea fails to find an appropriate subnet for the client, the kea-dhcp4 process will abort with an assertion failure. This happens only if the client request is unicast directly to Kea; broadcast messages do not cause the problem. This issue affects Kea versions 2.7.1 through 2.7.9, 3.0.0, and 3.1.0.
