The version of dhcp installed on the remote host is prior to 4.2.5-79. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2-2022-1874 advisory.
In ISC DHCP 4.4.0 -> 4.4.3, ISC DHCP 4.1-ESV-R1 -> 4.1-ESV-R16-P1, when the function option_code_hash_lookup() is called from add_option(), it increases the option’s refcount field. However, there is not a corresponding call to option_dereference() to decrement the refcount field. The function add_option() is only used in server responses to lease query packets. Each lease query response calls this function for several options, so eventually, the reference counters could overflow and cause the server to abort. (CVE-2022-2928)
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. (CVE-2022-2929)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
