DHCP can add routes to a client’s routing table via the classless static
route option (121). VPN-based security solutions that rely on routes to
redirect traffic can be forced to leak traffic over the physical interface.
An attacker on the same local network can read, disrupt, or possibly modify
network traffic that was expected to be protected by the VPN.
