  - A NULL pointer dereference occurs in Roy Marples NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd 10.3.0 while parsing
    configuration options. In parse_option() (src/if-options.c:1886), the code performs a member access on a
    NULL pointer of type 'struct dhcp_opt' when an unexpected/invalid option token or parsing state causes the
    lookup to yield NULL. The instrumented fuzzing build reports 'runtime error: member access within null
    pointer of type struct dhcp_opt' and aborts. (CVE-2025-70102)
