CVE-2018-5739

An extension to hooks capabilities which debuted in Kea 1.4.0 introduced a memory leak for operators who are using certain hooks library facilities. In order to support multiple requests simultaneously, Kea 1.4 added a callout handle store but unfortunately the initial implementation of this store does not properly free memory in every case. Hooks which make use of query4 or query6 parameters in their callouts can leak memory, resulting in the eventual exhaustion of available memory and subsequent failure of the server process. Affects Kea DHCP 1.4.0.

Una extensión de las capacidades de enlace que debutó en Kea 1.4.0 introdujo una fuga de memoria para los operadores que emplean ciertas características de la biblioteca de enlaces. Para poder soportar múltiples peticiones de forma simultánea, Kea 1.4 introdujo un almacén de manejo de llamadas pero, desafortunadamente, la implementación inicial de este almacén no libera memoria correctamente en cada caso. Los enlaces que emplean los parámetros query4 o query6 en sus llamadas pueden filtrar memoria, lo que resulta en el agotamiento de la memoria disponible y el el subsiguiente error del proceso del servidor. Afecta a Kea DHCP 1.4.0.
