Description Adam Mariš 2017-07-07 09:07:02 UTC 
It was discovered that if option decoding fails, the fr_dhcp_decode() function would leak memory.

The security impact is denial of service via memory exhaustion by any network device capable of sending DHCP packets to FreeRADIUS, which sends packets with malformed options.

Affected versions: 2.0.0 through 2.2.9, inclusive.
