CVE-2026-55606 is a moderate-severity vulnerability in OpenWrt's odhcpd DHCP service. The flaw is a stack buffer over-read caused by an endianness mismatch when handling a DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) length value. Improper interpretation of the DUID length can cause odhcpd to read beyond the intended bounds of a stack buffer while processing attacker-supplied DHCPv6 data. The issue is reachable by a network-adjacent attacker against the default-enabled odhcpd service in affected OpenWrt releases prior to the fixed 25.12.5 update.
