Problem Description:
When parsing option 119 data, dhclient(8) computes the uncompressed domain
list length so that it can allocate an appropriately sized buffer to store
the uncompressed list. The code to compute the length failed to handle
certain malformed input, resulting in a heap overflow when the uncompressed
list is copied into in inadequately sized buffer.
Impact:
The heap overflow could in principle be exploited to achieve remote code
execution. The affected process runs with reduced privileges in a Capsicum
sandbox, limiting the immediate impact of an exploit. However, it is
possible the bug could be combined with other vulnerabilities to escape the
sandbox.
