Vulnerability Summary

The get_option function in dhcp.c in dhcpcd prior to 6.2.0, as used in dhcpcd 5.x in Android prior to 5.1 and other products, does not validate the relationship between length fields and the amount of data, which allows remote DHCP servers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a large length value of an option in a DHCPACK message.
