+	<h1>Problem Description:</h1>
+	<p>When parsing option 119 data, dhclient(8) computes the uncompressed domain
+	list length so that it can allocate an appropriately sized buffer to store
+	the uncompressed list.  The code to compute the length failed to handle
+	certain malformed input, resulting in a heap overflow when the uncompressed
+	list is copied into in inadequately sized buffer.</p>
+	<h1>Impact:</h1>
+	<p>The heap overflow could in principle be exploited to achieve remote code
+	execution.  The affected process runs with reduced privileges in a Capsicum
+	sandbox, limiting the immediate impact of an exploit.  However, it is
+	possible the bug could be combined with other vulnerabilities to escape the
+	sandbox.</p>
