ISC DHCP Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Severity: CRITICAL
CVE Identifier: CVE-2004-0460
Advisory Date: FEB 15, 2011
DESCRIPTION
Buffer overflow in the logging capability for the DHCP daemon (DHCPD) for ISC DHCP 3.0.1rc12 and 3.0.1rc13 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (server crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via multiple hostname options in (1) DISCOVER, (2) OFFER, (3) REQUEST, (4) ACK, or (5) NAK messages, which can generate a long string when writing to a log file.
