Last modified

CVE-2004-0461 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The DHCP daemon (DHCPD) for ISC DHCP 3.0.1rc12 and 3.0.1rc13, when compiled in environments that do not provide the vsnprintf function, uses C include files that define vsnprintf to use the less safe vsprintf function, which can lead to buffer overflow vulnerabilities that enable a denial of service (server crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code.. EPSS estimates a 16.77% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
