{"cve":"CVE-2022-2928","nvd":{"published":"2022-10-07T05:15:08.677","modified":"2026-06-17T04:42:50.170","status":"Modified","description":"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.","cvss_v4":null,"cvss_v3":{"version":"3.1","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","score":6.5},"cwes":["CWE-476"],"references":["https://kb.isc.org/docs/cve-2022-2928","https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2022/10/msg00015.html","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/2SARIK7KZ7MGQIWDRWZFAOSQSPXY4GOU/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/QQXYCIWUDILRCNBAIMVFCSGXBRKEPB4K/","https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/package-announce%40lists.fedoraproject.org/message/T6IBFH4MRRNJQVWEKILQ6I6CXWW766FX/"],"products":["debian:debian_linux","fedoraproject:fedora","isc:dhcp"],"source":"nvd","synced_at":"2026-10-19T21:36:05.460296998+00:00"},"epss":{"cve":"CVE-2022-2928","score":0.00711,"percentile":0.53593,"date":"2026-10-31"},"kev":null,"osv":[],"attribution":["This product uses the NVD API but is not endorsed or certified by the NVD.","EPSS scores: FIRST Exploit Prediction Scoring System, https://www.first.org/epss","Known exploited vulnerabilities: CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog, https://www.cisa.gov/known-exploited-vulnerabilities-catalog","Package advisories: OSV (https://osv.dev), from the GitHub Advisory Database, PyPA, Go, RustSec and other ecosystem databases, under CC-BY 4.0 or CC0","CVE records: the CVE Program's CVE List (https://www.cve.org), under its terms of use (https://www.cve.org/Legal/TermsOfUse).
