ISC.DHCP.Server.Client.Identifier.DoS

description-logoDescription

This indicates an attack attempt against a denial-of-service vulnerability in ISC DHCP (dhcpd) server 2.0pl5.
The vulnerability is due to the software's inability to properly handle DHCPDISCOVER packets with a 32-byte client-identifier which it interprets as a corrupt UID. Remote attackers may exploit this to cause denial of service.
