Descriptions
A buffer overflow vulnerability in the dhcp6 client of systemd allows a malicious dhcp6 server to overwrite heap memory in systemd-networkd. Affected releases are systemd: versions up to and including 239.
Una vulnerabilidad de desbordamiento de búfer en el cliente dhcp6 de systemd permite que un servidor dhcp6 malicioso sobrescriba memoria dinámica (heap) en systemd-networkd. Las versiones afectadas de systemd son todas hasta la 239 incluida.
It was discovered that systemd-network does not correctly keep track of a buffer size when constructing DHCPv6 packets. This flaw may lead to an integer underflow that can be used to produce an heap-based buffer overflow. A malicious host on the same network segment as the victim's one may advertise itself as a DHCPv6 server and exploit this flaw to cause a Denial of Service or potentially gain code execution on the victim's machine.
