AI-suggested
If DHCPv6 is not required for iscsiuio, disable DHCPv6 handling on the relevant network interface. If DHCPv6 is necessary, restrict network exposure to trusted adjacent networks and implement firewall rules to block forged DHCPv6 server traffic from reaching clients on shared Layer 2 segments. A system restart or service reload may be required for changes to take effect.
Description
A vulnerability in open-iscsi's iscsiuio component allows an unauthenticated attacker on an adjacent network segment to cause a denial of service. The flaw is an integer underflow and out-of-bounds read during DHCPv6 packet parsing triggered by crafted DHCPv6 Advertise traffic with a short UDP length. Exploitation leads to process crashes or service disruption during active DHCPv6 exchanges.
