Description
CVE-2025-70102 is a medium severity vulnerability in Roy Marples NetworkConfiguration/dhcpcd version 10.3.0. It involves a NULL pointer dereference in the parse_option() function when parsing configuration options, leading to a runtime error and program abort. This occurs due to member access on a NULL pointer of type 'struct dhcp_opt' when an unexpected or invalid option token causes a lookup to return NULL.
