Description

ISC DHCP 4.1.x before 4.1-ESV-R7 and 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) in opportunistic circumstances by establishing an IPv6 lease in an environment where the lease expiration time is later reduced.

Solution(s)

  • oracle-linux-upgrade-dhclient
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-dhcp
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-dhcp-common
  • oracle-linux-upgrade-dhcp-devel

With Rapid7 live dashboards, I have a clear view of all the assets on my network, which ones can be exploited, and what I need to do in order to reduce the risk in my environment in real-time. No other tool gives us that kind of value and insight.
