Summary
isc-dhcp vulnerabilities
Details

Konstantin Orekhov discovered that the DHCP server incorrectly handled a large number of concurrent TCP sessions. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS. (CVE-2016-2774)

It was discovered that the DHCP server incorrectly handled socket descriptors. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2017-3144)

Felix Wilhelm discovered that the DHCP client incorrectly handled certain malformed responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause the DHCP client to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the dhclient AppArmor profile. (CVE-2018-5732)

Felix Wilhelm discovered that the DHCP server incorrectly handled reference counting. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause the DHCP server to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2018-5733)
