Package: isc-dhcp-server
Version: 4.1.1-P1-15+squeeze2
Severity: important
The dhcpd server dies with segmentation fault when the dhcpd.conf file contains
numerous
consecutive blank lines. In my case, the dhcpd.conf had 100 consecutive lines
with 23 spaces.
The server will exhibit the same behavior with 1507 or more consecutive blank
lines.
The relevant contents of /var/log/syslog follow:

ip 00000000004414bc sp 00007fff74979718 error 4 in dhcpd[400000+a7000]
I suspect a buffer overflow problem when the amount of white space between
configuration directives reaches a threshold.
