Hello. I'm running a kea configuration where we leverage kea global
reservations w/ Kea v 2.6.1.
Most of them look something like this:
{
"hw-address": "74:86:e2:9d:cf:25",
"ip-address": "10.221.53.34",
"hostname": "test-switch-123",
"option-data": []
}
Whenever a DHCP request arrives from the client and there is a subnet mismatch:
e.g.
./dhcp4-packets.log.3:33153:2025-05-08 07:42:10.381 INFO
[kea-dhcp4.packets/231784.140559790003968] DHCP4_PACKET_RECEIVED [hwtype=1

received from 10.254.82.1 to 10.80.252.85 on interface ens192
Kea crashes with the following error:
kea-dhcp4: /usr/include/boost/smart_ptr/shared_ptr.hpp:734: typename

`px != 0' failed.
Running it through GDB, we see this stack trace:

So it appears that Kea is not handling the subnet/IP mismatch.
For reference, I also see this error being referenced in this thread from 2018
https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/kea-users/2018-October/002062.html
Can someone investigate this potential bug, or, if there is a preferred
configuration change we can make to stabilize this, we can share more about our
configs.
Thanks!
