CVE-1999-0875

Summary

CVE-1999-0875 is a vulnerability affecting DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) clients with ICMP Router Discovery Protocol (IRDP) enabled. Attackers can exploit this issue by sending specially crafted ICMP packets to manipulate the default routes of affected systems, potentially redirecting network traffic and enabling unauthorized access or data interception. This security weakness could lead to serious consequences, including data breaches and denial-of-service attacks. To mitigate this risk, administrators should disable ICMP Router Discovery Protocol on their DHCP clients or consider implementing other secure routing solutions.
