2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU53609

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 1.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:A/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-25217

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of options data stored in DHCP leases. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack or gain access to sensitive information.

Both dhcpd and dhclient are affected by the vulnerability.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.

3) Integer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU51456

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 5.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2021-27219

CWE-ID: CWE-190 - Integer overflow

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the g_bytes_new() function on 64-bit platforms due to an implicit cast from 64 bits to 32 bits. A local user can run a specially crafted program to trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's website.
