NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer overflow in the DHCP client (udhcpc) in BusyBox before 1.25.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed RFC1035-encoded domain name, which triggers an out-of-bounds heap write.
