Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for busybox.

CVE-2026-88833[0]:
| A flaw was found in BusyBox's udhcpc DHCP client. When processing
| raw DHCP packets, the client replaces the validated packet length
| with an attacker-controlled value from the IP header without re-
| validating the minimum size. This leads to an integer underflow when
| subtracting header sizes, causing a subsequent memory copy with a
| massively oversized length. An attacker on the same network segment
| can send a specially crafted packet to crash the DHCP client,
| resulting in denial of service and loss of network connectivity.
