Security Advisory:
</pre>
<pre> Title: dhclient does not strip or escape shell meta-characters
Summary: dhclient doesn't strip or escape certain shell
meta-characters in
dhcpd responses, allowing a rogue server or party with with
escalated
privileges on the server to cause remote code execution on the
client.
</pre>
<pre>
CVE: CVE-2011-0997
CERT: VU# 107886
Posting date: 5 Apr 2011
Program Impacted: DHCP
Versions affected: 3.0.x-4.2.x
Severity: Medium
Exploitable: remotely
Description:
ISC dhclient did not strip or escape certain shell
meta-characters in
responses from the dhcp server (like hostname) before passing
the
responses on to dhclient-script. Depending on the script and OS,
this
can result in execution of exploit code on the client.
CVSS Score: 6.8 (AV:A/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:C)

<a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nvd.nist.gov/cvss.cfm?calculator&adv&version=2">http://nvd.nist.gov/cvss.cfm?calculator&adv&version=2</a>
Workarounds:
On SUSE systems, it is possible to disable hostname update by
setting
DHCLIENT_SET_HOSTNAME="no" in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp.
Other systems may add following line to dhclient-script at the
beginning
of the set_hostname() function:
new_host_name=${new_host_name//[^a-zA-Z0-9]/}
In environments where filters/acls can be put into place to
limit clients
to accessing only legitimate dhcp servers, this will protect
clients
from rogue dhcp servers deliberately trying to exploit this bug.
However,
this will not protect from compromised servers.
Active exploits:
None known at this time.
Solution:
</pre>
<pre> Upgrade to 3.1-ESV-R1, 4.1-ESV-R2 or 4.2.1-P1.
