CVE-2014-7912
Last modified
CVE-2014-7912 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The get_option function in dhcp.c in dhcpcd before 6.2.0, as used in dhcpcd 5.x in Android before 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.. EPSS estimates a 2.65% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
