Language:

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

MITRE reports :

The print_option function in dhcp-common.c in dhcpcd through 6.9.1, as used in dhcp.c in dhcpcd 5.x in Android before 5.1 and other products, misinterprets the return value of the snprintf function, which allows remote DHCP servers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted message.

Solution

Update the affected package.
