Notes

Title of the patch: Security update for dhcpcd

Description of the patch: This update for dhcpcd fixes the following issue Update to 10.3.2: - CVE-2025-70102: NULL pointer dereference in `parse_option()` when processing a specially crafted configuration input (bsc#1268761). Changes for dhcpcd: * options: Ensure ldop is not NULL dereferenced * DHCP: Don't run double EXPIRE hooks on carrier loss * DHCP: free the state when dropping on state NONE * BSD: don't send uninitialised memory using ps_root_indirectioctl * Fix fallback_time option * IPv4: Ignore DHCP state when building routes * route: Routes may not have an interface assinged * options: Ensure that an overly long bitflag string does not crash * options: Don't assume vsio options have an argument * common: Cast via uintptr_t rather than unsigned long in UNCONST * privsep: Ensure we recv for real after a successful recv MSG_PEEK * DHCP: Add parentheses to macro definitions * ipv6nd: empty IPV6RA_EXPIRE eloop queue when dropping * privsep: enforce message boundaries with MSG_EOR on our messages * Protocols will notify when dhcpcd can exit * DHCP: Don't request T1 and T2 * DHCP: Don't request a lease time * DHCP6: Don't exit if using DHCP4 INFORM in non manager mode * ND: Route Information Option prefix is optional * ipv6: respect slaac hwaddr to really use the hwaddr * When stopping all interfaces at exit and releasing, remove persistance * NetBSD: Delete RTF_CONNECTED route when changing it * privsep: Drain the log when the root process is exiting * eloop: vastly reworked, kqueue and epoll support on by default

CVE-2025-70102 (GCVE-0-2025-70102)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-06-15 00:00 – Updated: 2026-06-16 14:47

Summary

A NULL pointer dereference occurs in Roy Marples NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd 10.3.0 while parsing configuration options. In parse_option() (src/if-options.c:1886), the code performs a member access on a NULL pointer of type 'struct dhcp_opt' when an unexpected/invalid option token or parsing state causes the lookup to yield NULL. The instrumented fuzzing build reports 'runtime error: member access within null pointer of type struct dhcp_opt' and aborts.

Severity

6.3 (Medium)
