commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2e755e82ec58784c926c5c8b44be404f14166d9e
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2018.02.x

Systemd-networkd is vulnerable to an out out-of-bounds heap write in the
DHCPv6 client when handling options sent by network adjacent DHCP servers.
A attacker could exploit this via malicious DHCP server to corrupt heap
memory on client machines, resulting in a denial of service or potential
code execution.
