https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=294886 Bug ID: 294886 Summary: dhclient: Failed to obtain lease after FreeBSD-SA-26:15.dhclient Product: Base System Version: 15.0-RELEASE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: kevinz5000@gmail.com After updating to address FreeBSD-SA-26:15.dhclient, my dhclient fails to obtain a lease: Starting dhclient. DHCPREQUEST on em0 to 255.255.255.255 port 67 DHCPACK from x.x.x.x dhcpoffer: filename contains invalid characters. packet_to_lease failed. This is because I am operating in a corporate environment where the bootp filename argument is: \boot\x86\wdsnbp.com However, the fix in e7b4fb41 that addresses FreeBSD-SA-26:15.dhclient/CVE-2026-42511 looks for forward slash ('\') and bails out if it sees it. I tried to work around this by adding to /etc/dhclient.conf: ignore bootfile-name; However this processing seems to happen before this can even take place. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.home | help
