In ISC DHCP 1.0 -> 4.4.3, ISC DHCP 4.1-ESV-R1 -> 4.1-ESV-R16-P1 a system with access to a DHCP server, sending DHCP packets crafted to include fqdn labels longer than 63 bytes, could eventually cause the server to run out of memory.

CWE-ID: CWE Name: The function fqdn_universe_decode() allocates buffer space for the contents of option 81 (fqdn) data received in a DHCP packet. The maximum length of a DNS label is 63 bytes. The function tests the length byte of each label contained in the fqdn; if it finds a label whose length byte value is larger than 63, it returns without dereferencing the buffer space. This will cause a memory leak. Affects In ISC DHCP 1.0 -> 4.4.3, ISC DHCP 4.1-ESV-R1 -> 4.1-ESV-R16-P1 Source: ISC
