Descriptions
Stack-based buffer overflow in dnsmasq before 2.78 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a crafted DHCPv6 request.
Un desbordamiento de búfer basado en pila en dnsmasq en versiones anteriores a la 2.78 permite a los atacantes provocar una denegación de servicio (cierre inesperado) o ejecutar código arbitrario mediante una petición DHCPv6 manipulada.
A stack buffer overflow was found in dnsmasq in the DHCPv6 code. An attacker on the local network could send a crafted DHCPv6 request to dnsmasq which would cause it to a crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code.
Dnsmasq versions prior to 2.78 suffer from a stack-based overflow vulnerability.
