GENTOO LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT 200301-3
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------

PACKAGE : dhcpcd
SUMMARY═: remote command execution
DATE ══ : 2003-01-05 00:01 UTC
EXPLOIT : remote

- - --------------------------------------------------------------------

When assigning an IP address to a network interface, dhcpcd may 
execute an external script, '/sbin/dhcpd-<interface>.exe'. 
This is an optional configuration that must be setup manually on 
Gentoo Linux systems by copying the script 
into /sbin/. 
 
The script 'dhcpcd-<interface>.exe' uses values from 
'/var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-<interface>.info', which originate from the 
DHCP server. A lack of input validation on this data may make it 
possible for commands injected by a malicious DHCP server to be 
executed through the use of shell metacharacters such as ';' and '|'. 
These commands may run with root privileges.

More information is available at

SOLUTION

It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
net-misc/dhcpcd-1.3.20_p0-r1 or earlier update their systems as 
follows:

emerge rsync
emerge dhcpcd
emerge clean
