Subject: [SECURITY] New verion of dhcp released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Michael Stone June 27, 2000
Package: dhcp-client-beta (dhcp-client)
Vulnerability type: remote root exploit
Debian-specific: no
The versions of the ISC DHCP client in debian 2.1 (slink) and
debian 2.2 (potato) are vulnerable to a root exploit. The OpenBSD
team reports that the client inappropriately executes commands
embedded in replies sent from a dhcp server. This means that a
malicious dhcp server can execute commands on the client with root
privilages.
The reported vulnerability is fixed in the package
dhcp-client-beta 2.0b1pl6-0.3 for the current stable release
(debian 2.1) and in dhcp-client 2.0-3potato1 for the frozen
pre-release (debian 2.2). The dhcp server and relay agents are
built from the same source as the client; however, the server and
relay agents are not vulnerable to this issue and do not need to be
upgraded. We recommend upgrading your dhcp-client-beta and
dhcp-client immediately.
