A flaw was found in open-iscsi. An integer underflow vulnerability in the iscsiuio component, specifically during IPv4 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) parsing, allows a remote attacker on the same local network segment to cause a denial of service. By sending a specially crafted IPv4/UDP DHCP reply, the attacker can trigger an out-of-bounds read, leading to the iscsiuio process crashing. This issue affects systems where iscsiuio is actively handling IPv4 DHCP traffic.
Weakness
The product subtracts one value from another, such that the result is less than the minimum allowable integer value, which produces a value that is not equal to the correct result.
