Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Denial of Service (DoS). ISC dhcrelay (dhcp-relay) 3.0rc9 and earlier, and possibly other versions, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (packet storm) via a certain BOOTP packet that is forwarded to a broadcast MAC address, causing an infinite loop that is not restricted by a hop count.
