Description Martin Prpič 2015-12-23 09:39:02 UTC
ISC Kea may terminate unexpectedly (crash) while handling a malformed client packet:

Related defects in the kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6 servers can cause the server to crash during option processing if a client sends a malformed packet.

* The kea-dhcp4 server is vulnerable only in versions 0.9.2 and 1.0.0-beta, and furthermore only when logging at debug level 40 or higher. Servers running kea-dhcp4 versions 0.9.1 or lower, and servers which are not logging or are logging at debug level 39 or below are not vulnerable.

* The kea-dhcp6 server is vulnerable only in versions 0.9.2 and 1.0.0-beta, and furthermore only when logging at debug level 45 or higher. Servers running kea-dhcp6 versions 0.9.1 or lower, and servers which are not logging or are logging at debug level 44 or below are not vulnerable.

An attacker sending a crafted malformed packet can cause an ISC Kea server providing DHCP services to IPv4 or IPv6 clients to exit unexpectedly.
