Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2013-03-30 11:54:50 UTC
From ${URL} :

libdns in ISC DHCP 4.2.x before 4.2.5-P1 allows remote name servers to cause a denial of service 
(memory consumption) via vectors involving a regular expression, as demonstrated by a 
memory-exhaustion attack against a machine running a dhcpd process, a related issue to 
CVE-2013-2266.
