    Changes in wicked:

    - Fix two OOB reads in ni_capture_inspect_udp_header and improve:
      - Reject packets with ip_len < ihl to avoid a size_t underflow of the
        UDP length, which the checksum truncates to uint16_t (bsc#1274627,
        CVE-2026-71401).
      - Set payload_len to the remaining payload, not ip_len, which over-read
        the DHCP option walker by ihl + 8 bytes past the buffer (bsc#1274627,
        CVE-2026-71402).
      - Avoid checksumming packets that fail the length/protocol checks and
        tidy up the debug messages (bsc#1274627).
      - Fix underflow check in ni_dhcp4_option_next to handle option code
        and length separately as the END and PAD options don't have length
        (bsc#1274627).

      Thanks to Daniel Birtwhistle for discovering and reporting the issues.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the SUSE security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
