dhcpcd through 10.3.2, fixed in commit 5733d3c, contains a heap use-after-free vulnerability that allows unauthenticated same-link attackers to crash the daemon by sending a crafted DHCPv6 RENEW reply with RFC6603 OPTIONPDEXCLUDE and both preferred and valid lifetimes set to zero. Attackers acting as or impersonating a DHCPv6 server can trigger dhcp6deprecatedele() to free a delegated child address while an outer TAILQFOREACHSAFE iterator in dhcp6deprecateaddrs() still holds the freed pointer, causing a use-after-free when TAILQ_REMOVE is reached.
