CVE-2015-8605
ISC DHCP 4.x before 4.1-ESV-R12-P1, 4.2.x, and 4.3.x before 4.3.3-P1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via an invalid length field in a UDP IPv4 packet.
Does this matter?
EPSS puts the probability of exploitation in the next 30 days at 82.7%, higher than 100% of all known CVEs. Patch or mitigate before the next change window.
