- CVE-2026-3608: stack overflow via maliciously crafted message (bsc#1260380).

* When a hostname or FQDN received from a client is reduced to an

empty string by hostname sanitizing, kea-dhcp4 and kea-dhcp6

[bsc#1252863]

* A null dereference is now no longer possible when configuring

the Control Agent with a socket that lacks the mandatory

socket-name entry.
