How to fix?
There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 busybox.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream busybox package and not the busybox package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL: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.
