Libslirp: libslirp: heap buffer overflow in dhcpv6/tftp response builders on small interface mtu

Published Sep 22, 2026 · Updated Nov 6, 2026 · Assigned by redhat

Description

A heap-based buffer overflow was found in the DHCPv6 and TFTP response builders of libslirp. When the host is configured with a small interface MTU, a guest-supplied DHCPv6 CLIENTID option or TFTP blksize option can overflow the reply buffer with attacker-controlled content and length, resulting in denial of service and potentially arbitrary code execution in the host process. The default interface MTU is not affected.
