AI-suggested
Red Hat has released updated BusyBox RPMs (version 1.37.0-7.3.hum1) as part of the Red Hat Hardened Images security update to address this vulnerability. Users should apply these updates to remediate the issue. Until patched, restrict network access to systems running BusyBox DHCPv6 client to only trusted DHCPv6 servers. If DHCPv6 client functionality is not essential, disable the 'udhcpc6' service or configure it to accept responses only from trusted sources. Consult product-specific documentation for network service management. Changes may require service restarts and could impact network connectivity.
Description
This update for busybox fixes the following issue - CVE-2026-29004: a crafted DHCPv6 response can lead to a heap buffer overflow in the DHCPv6 client (bsc#1263989).
