A flaw was found in BusyBox. The udhcpc6 DHCPv6 client does not properly validate the size of network options sent by a server before copying them into memory. A malicious DHCPv6 server on the local network can exploit this flaw by sending a crafted reply, triggering a stack-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution with root privileges or cause a denial of service (DoS) crash.
