Last modified

CVE-2022-0324 is a high-severity vulnerability rated 7.5/10 on the CVSS scale. There is a vulnerability in DHCPv6 packet parsing code that could be explored by remote attacker to craft a packet that could cause buffer overflow in a memcpy call, leading to out-of-bounds memory write that would cause dhcp6relay to crash. Dhcp6relay is a critical process and could cause dhcp relay docker to shutdown. Discovered by Eugene Lim of GovTech Singapore. . EPSS estimates a 1.11% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
