Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-1313-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'isc-dhcp' package(s) announced via the DLA-1313-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'isc-dhcp' package(s) announced via the DLA-1313-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the ISC DHCP client, relay and server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:

CVE-2018-5732

Felix Wilhelm of the Google Security Team discovered that the DHCP client is prone to an out-of-bound memory access vulnerability when processing specially constructed DHCP options responses, resulting in potential execution of arbitrary code by a malicious DHCP server.

CVE-2018-5733

Felix Wilhelm of the Google Security Team discovered that the DHCP server does not properly handle reference counting when processing client requests. A malicious client can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial of service (dhcpd crash) by sending large amounts of traffic.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u9.

We recommend that you upgrade your isc-dhcp packages.
