Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2012-3955 medium priority: Ubuntu including 2 source packages (dhcp3, isc-dhcp), 12 status rows across 6 suites (hardy, lucid, natty, oneiric, precise, upstream): DNE 5, released 4, not-affected 3.
ISC DHCP 4.1.x before 4.1-ESV-R7 and 4.2.x before 4.2.4-P2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) in opportunistic circumstances by establishing an IPv6 lease in an environment where the lease expiration time is later reduced.
