CVE-2012-3570
Buffer overflow in ISC DHCP 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P1, when DHCPv6 mode is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault and daemon exit) via a crafted client identifier parameter.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (2.57%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
