Multiple buffer overflows in ISC DHCP Distribution server (dhcpd) 1.0 and 2.0 allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary commands via long options.
libdns in ISC DHCP 4.2.x before 4.2.5-P1 allows remote name servers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via vectors involving a regular expression, as demonstrated by a memory-exhaustion attack against a machine running a dhcpd process, a related issue to CVE-2013-2266.
ISC DHCP client program dhclient allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via shell metacharacters.
The logging functionality in dhcpd in ISC DHCP before 4.2.3-P2, when using Dynamic DNS (DDNS) and issuing IPv6 addresses, does not properly handle the DHCPv6 lease structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via crafted packets related to a lease-status update.
The DHCPv6 server in ISC DHCP 4.0.x and 4.1.x before 4.1.2-P1, 4.0-ESV and 4.1-ESV before 4.1-ESV-R1, and 4.2.x before 4.2.1b1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon crash) by sending a message over IPv6 for a declined and abandoned address.
Buffer overflow in ISC DHCP 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P1, when DHCPv6 mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and daemon exit) via a crafted client identifier parameter.
It was found that omapi code doesn't free socket descriptor if empty message was sent by client, which allows malicious client to use up all available descriptors causing Denial of Service.
