CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 dhcpcd5 to version 6.0.5-2 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dhcpcd5 package and not the dhcpcd5 package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The get_option function in dhcpcd 4.0.0 through 6.x before 6.4.3 allows remote DHCP servers to cause a denial of service by resetting the DHO_OPTIONSOVERLOADED option in the (1) bootfile or (2) servername section, which triggers the option to be processed again.
