How to fix?

Upgrade Echo:latest dhcpcd to version 1:1.3.22pl4-22 or higher.

NVD Description

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

The dhcpcd DHCP client before 1.3.22 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unknown vectors that cause an out-of-bounds memory read.
