Descriptions

ISC DHCP 4.1.x before 4.1-ESV-R13 and 4.2.x and 4.3.x before 4.3.4 does not restrict the number of concurrent TCP sessions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (INSIST assertion failure or request-processing outage) by establishing many sessions.

ISC DHCP 4.1.x en versiones anteriores a 4.1-ESV-R13 y 4.2.x y 4.3.x en versiones anteriores a 4.3.4 no restringe el número de sesiones TCP concurrentes, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción INSIST o interrupción de procesamiento de petición) estableciendo muchas sesiones.

A resource-consumption flaw was discovered in the DHCP server. dhcpd did not restrict the number of open connections to OMAPI and failover ports. A remote attacker able to establish TCP connections to one of these ports could use this flaw to cause dhcpd to exit unexpectedly, stop responding requests, or exhaust system sockets (denial of service).
