Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the dhcp package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- By flooding the target resolver with queries exploiting this flaw an attacker can significantly impair the resolver's performance, effectively denying legitimate clients access to the DNS resolution service.
(CVE-2022-2795)

- By spoofing the target resolver with responses that have a malformed ECDSA signature, an attacker can trigger a small memory leak. It is possible to gradually erode available memory to the point where named crashes for lack of resources. (CVE-2022-38177)
