VUL-0: CVE-2011-4539: dhcp: DoS due to processing certain regular expressions
CVE#CVE-2011-4539
dhcpd in ISC DHCP 4.x before 4.2.3-P1 and 4.1-ESV before 4.1-ESV-R4 does not properly handle regular expressions in dhcpd.conf, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a crafted request packet.
