Description:
Luigi Auriemma has reported a vulnerability in Dual DHCP DNS Server, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the handling of the DHCP options field. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow which crashes the service and may allow arbitrary code execution.

The vulnerability has been reported in version 1.0. Prior versions may also be affected.
