An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in Systemd 245.

MEDIUM 6.1EPSS 1.40%

Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (1.40%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability exists in Systemd 245. A specially crafted DHCP FORCERENEW packet can cause a server running the DHCP client to be vulnerable to a DHCP ACK spoofing attack. An attacker can forge a pair of FORCERENEW and DCHP ACK packets to reconfigure the server.
