CWE-399  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade rsmarples/dhcpcd to version 6.4.3 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Resource Management Errors. 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.
