+ <background>
+ <p>klibc is a minimalistic libc used for making an initramfs.</p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>The ipconfig utility in klibc writes DHCP options to
+ /tmp/net-$DEVICE.conf, and this file is later sourced by other scripts to
+ get defined variables. The options written to this file are not properly
+ escaped.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could send a specially crafted DHCP reply, which could
+ execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of any process which
+ sources DHCP options.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All klibc users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/klibc-1.5.25"
+ </code>
