Hello, Thank you for reporting this issue. While I agree that's the bug it's not a reason of exhausted dhcp pool. Crafted application may send dhcpdecline for each lease it offered but this should not lead to DoS situation. RHEL-7 is already in Maintenance Support 2 phase, which means that only Critical impact Security Advisories and selected Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories may be addressed. Please see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase for further information. Since this bug does not meet the criteria, we'll close it as WONTFIX. Feel free to discuss this Bug with Support Representative, if this is a critical issue for you. Please provide business justification in such case. This issue is being tracked upstream and Fedora. |
