Technical details

The vulnerability involves improper bounds checking during DHCPv6 option parsing, allowing an over-read of memory when processing malformed DHCPv6 packets. Additionally, the implementation may retransmit unintended data over the network. Both issues could be triggered by a remote attacker sending crafted DHCPv6 packets on the network without authentication.
