Description
- Previous versions of the ISC DHCP server were vulnerable to denial
- of service or arbitrary code execution attacks via malformed DHCP
- packets with a large dhcp-max-message-size that trigger a
- stack-based buffer overflow.
- Note that rPath Linux 2 is susceptible only to a Denial of Service
- in this case, due to the stack protector feature enabled as part of
- rPath Linux 2.
