Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) via the DHCPv6 sub-option parsing process. An attacker can corrupt IPv6 address assignment, DNS configuration, and lease times, or cause a denial of service by sending a single crafted DHCPv6 packet. This is only exploitable if DHCPv6 is enabled.
