What is CVE-2010-3616?

The ISC DHCP server, specifically versions before 4.2.0-P2, is susceptible to a denial of service vulnerability due to improper handling of failover partnerships. A remote attacker can exploit this issue by connecting to a port designated for failover peers, disrupting communications and leading to loss of DHCP client services. This issue highlights the importance of securing network services to prevent unauthorized access and potential service outages.
