Denial of service via malformed IPv4 packet in github.com/insomniacslk/dhcp
- Affected
- Go github.com/insomniacslk/dhcp < 0.0.0-20260719225207-c76316d4aa82
- Fixed in
- 0.0.0-20260719225207-c76316d4aa82· Vendor fix available
- Issue
- In github.com/insomniacslk/dhcp/dhcpv4/nclient4, BroadcastRawUDPConn.ReadFrom does not validate that the IPv4 payload length is sufficient to hold a UDP header before calculating the DHCP payload length. A frame with an IPv4 total-length field specifying fewer than eight payload bytes results in a negative DHCP length, causing a panic in buf.Consume due to a negative slice bound.
Recommended action: Upgrade to 0.0.0-20260719225207-c76316d4aa82 (pre-release) or later, then redeploy and verify.A vendor fix does not resolve your finding until you verify it in your own systems.
