isc-dhcp regression
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 21.04
Summary:
USN-4969-1 introduced a regression in DHCP.
Software Description:
- isc-dhcp: DHCP server and client
Details:
USN-4969-1 fixed a vulnerability in DHCP. The package for Ubuntu 21.04
introduced a regression causing it to reject certain valid configuration
files. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Jon Franklin and Pawel Wieczorkiewicz discovered that DHCP incorrectly
handled lease file parsing. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue
to cause DHCP to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 21.04:
isc-dhcp-client 4.4.1-2.2ubuntu6.2
isc-dhcp-server 4.4.1-2.2ubuntu6.2
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
