Summary
CVE-2026-56117 affecting package dhcpcd for versions less than 10.0.8-2
Details

dhcpcd through 10.3.2, fixed in commit 78ea09e, contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability in the control socket handling within src/control.c that allows local unprivileged attackers to trigger memory corruption when privilege separation is disabled. Attackers can connect to the control socket and send a privileged command such as -x, causing controlrecvdata() to free the client object while the same READ+HANGUP event subsequently reaches controlhangup() with the stale pointer, resulting in a use-after-free condition exploitable in deployments using --disable-privsep or where privsep initialization has failed with the control socket operating in mode 0666.
