Sounds like it requires that your DHCP server is hostile, which is actually a very small (though nonzero, yes) number of the attack scenarios that VPNs are designed for

In most situations, any host on the LAN can become a DHCP server.

“there are no ways to prevent such attacks except when the user’s VPN runs on Linux or Android” is a very funny way of saying “in practice applies only to Windows and iOS”.

No. There are certainly ways of mitigating it, but afaict no Linux distros have done so yet.
