CVE-2026-124740

A flaw was found in BusyBox's udhcpc6 DHCPv6 client. A malicious server on the local network can trigger a use-after-free condition by responding with a crafted Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) reply packet lacking usable address options. This issue causes the client to read stale heap memory, which can result in a Denial of Service (DoS) due to an application crash or disclose previously assigned network address data in subsequent discovery requests.
