    Package        : isc-dhcp     Version        : 4.4.1-2+deb10u2     CVE ID         : CVE-2022-2928 CVE-2022-2929     Debian Bug     : 1021320

    Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in the ISC DHCP client,     relay and server.

    CVE-2022-2928

        It was discovered that the DHCP server does not correctly perform         option reference counting when configured with allow leasequery;.
        A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial         of service (daemon crash).

    CVE-2022-2929

        It was discovered that the DHCP server is prone to a memory leak         flaw when handling contents of option 81 (fqdn) data received in         a DHCP packet. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw         to cause DHCP servers to consume resources, resulting in denial         of service.

    For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version     4.4.1-2+deb10u2.

    We recommend that you upgrade your isc-dhcp packages.
