Package : isc-dhcp
CVE ID : CVE-2015-8605
Debian Bug : 810875
It was discovered that a maliciously crafted packet can crash any of
the isc-dhcp applications. This includes the DHCP client, relay, and
server application. Only IPv4 setups are affected.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed
in version 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u8.
For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.3.1-6+deb8u2.
For the testing (stretch) and unstable (sid) distributions, this
problem will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your isc-dhcp packages.
