  <description>
    <p>A heap overflow can be triggered via malformed DHCP responses in the
      print_option (via dhcp_envoption1) due to incorrect option length values.
       These vulnerabilities could also allow remote attackers to trigger an
      invalid read/crash via malformed DHCP responses.

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>Remote attackers could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
      privileges of the process or cause Denial of Service.

  </impact>
