The branch stable/14 has been updated by markj: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=a813012f4b76444dfde03146487042133c657884 commit a813012f4b76444dfde03146487042133c657884 Author: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2026-04-27 20:56:21 +0000 Commit: Mark Johnston <markj@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2026-04-29 14:45:04 +0000 dhclient: Fix reallocation of dhclient script environments When the number of DHCP options exceeds a threshold, script_set_env() will reallocate the environment, stored as an array of pointers. The calculation of the array size failed to multiply by the pointer size, resulting in a smaller than expected buffer which admits out-of-bounds writes.
