Summary
In github.com/insomniacslk/dhcp/dhcpv4/nclient4, BroadcastRawUDPConn.ReadFrom does not validate that the IPv4 payload length is sufficient to hold a UDP header before calculating the DHCP payload length. A frame with an IPv4 total-length field specifying fewer than eight payload bytes results in a negative DHCP length, causing a panic in buf.Consume due to a negative slice bound.

Fencer Intel keeps one entry per vulnerability: the CVE id wins, then GHSA, and records that alias each other are merged, except that two CVEs always keep separate entries. The same data is available as JSON.
