Vulnerability Summary

The vulnerability exists because the affected software performs incomplete input validation of option 82 information that it receives in DHCP Version 4 (DHCPv4) packets from DHCP relay agents. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by sending a crafted DHCPv4 packet to an affected device. A successful exploit could allow the malicious user to cause a heap overflow condition on the affected device, which will cause the device to reload and result in a DoS condition.
