Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 162009
CAN-2005-1848 dhcpcd bad packet crash
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:06:54 EST
Debian has notified vendor-sec of a security hole in dhcpcd: A malformed DHCP packet can make the code read beyond the end of a buffer and therefore potentially crash. There's no root execution exposure.
Created attachment 116105 [details] Proposed patch for this issue
Public by Debian, removing embargo
Now fixed with dhcpcd-1.3.20pl0-2 . Errata RHSA-2005:603-02 raised.
