dhcpcd-7.2.2 has been released with the following fixes:

  • DHCP: Ensure dhcp is running on the interface received from
  • BSD: Link handling has been simplified, however it is expected that if an interface supports SIOCGIFMEDIA then it reports the correct link status via route(4) for reliable operations
  • BPF: ARP filter is more robust
  • BSD and sun: Validate RTM message lengths

This security issue has been addressed

  • DHCPv6: Fix a potential read overflow with D6_OPTION_PD_EXCLUDE

IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED YOU UPGRADE DHCPCD!

dhcpcd-6.11.7 has been released as well, with this in. I have no plans to fix earlier versions, heck you shouldn’t even be using dhcpcd-6!

Many thanks to Maxime Villard max@m00nbsd.net for discovering this issue.
