    Debian Bug     : 1140767

    Two vulnerabilities were discovered in dhcpcd5, a DHCP client, which
    may result in denial of service and possibly data corruption.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version
    7.1.0-2+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your dhcpcd5 packages.

    For the detailed security status of dhcpcd5 please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/dhcpcd5
