Microsoft Windows DHCP Client ACK Options Remote Code Execution

This strike reproduces an attack on Microsoft Windows DHCP client, on a buffer overflow vulnerability. The flaw results from the lack of field counting when parsing Options fields in a DHCP ACK packet, resulting in overwrite of memory areas. As a consequence of exploiting this bug, a remote attacker controlling a DHCP server may take advantage and gain control of vulnerable Windows-based DHCP clients.
