Description
A security issue has been found in freeradius <= 3.0.15, where the dhcp_attr2vp() function, when decoding "string" options in an array, could be convinced to call memchr() with a length argument of -1. This could result in an over-read until the first zero octet was found, or a page fault occurred.
