The original advisory can be found on the ISC web site at: https://www.isc.org/software/dhcp/advisories/cve-2011-4868 In coordination with this announcement, ISC is releasing DHCP 4.2.3-P2 to correct the error condition which is described in the advisory. Please review the advisory to see whether you are running a vulnerable version and using features which expose the vulnerability and upgrade if necessary. Release notes for DHCP 4.2.3-P2 can be found at: https://deepthought.isc.org/article/AA-00595 ---- Title: An Error in DDNS Processing of DHCPv6 Leases Can Cause a Crash in ISC dhcpd Summary: Improper handling of Dynamic DNS information associated with DHCPv6 leases can cause a segmentation fault in ISC DHCP servers using IPv6 and Dynamic DNS, resulting in denial of service to clients. Document ID: 1.2 CVE: CVE-2011-4868 Document Version: 1.0 Posting date: 12 January 2012 Program Impacted: ISC DHCP Versions affected: 4.2.2, 4.2.3, 4.2.3-P1. Version 4.2.1 and previous are not vulnerable. Severity: High Exploitable: Remotely Description: Due to improper handling of a DHCPv6 lease structure, ISC DHCP servers that are serving IPv6 address pools AND using Dynamic DNS can encounter a segmentation fault error while updating lease status under certain conditions. The potential exists for this condition to be intentionally triggered, resulting in effective denial of service to clients expecting service from the affected server. Users of affected versions who use DHCPv6 and Dynamic DNS should upgrade to version 4.2.3-P2. CVSS Score: 6.1 CVSS Equation: For more information on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System and to obtain your specific environmental score please visit: http://nvd.nist.gov/cvss.cfm?calculator&adv&version=2&vector=%28AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:C%29 Workarounds: No known workarounds, please upgrade. Note: Your server is not vulnerable to this condition if: - you are not running an affected version of ISC DHCP, or - you are not using Dynamic DNS, or - you are not issuing DHCPv6 leases Solution: Upgrade to ISC DHCP 4.2.3-P2.
