Detail

A vulnerability has been found and corrected in ISC DHCP:

Integer overflow in the ISC dhcpd 3.0.x before 3.0.7 and 3.1.x before 3.1.1; and the DHCP server in EMC VMware Workstation before 5.5.5 Build 56455 and 6.x before 6.0.1 Build 55017, Player before 1.0.5 Build 56455 and Player 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, ACE before 1.0.3 Build 54075 and ACE 2 before 2.0.1 Build 55017, and Server before 1.0.4 Build 56528; allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or execute arbitrary code via a malformed DHCP packet with a large dhcp-max-message-size that triggers a stack-based buffer overflow, related to servers configured to send many DHCP options to clients (CVE-2007-0062).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the script_write_params method in client/dhclient.c in ISC DHCP dhclient 4.1 before 4.1.0p1, 4.0 before 4.0.1p1, 3.1 before 3.1.2p1, 3.0, and 2.0 allows remote DHCP servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted subnet-mask option (CVE-2009-0692).

ISC DHCP Server is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper handling of DHCP requests. If the host definitions are mixed using dhcp-client-identifier and hardware ethernet, a remote attacker could send specially-crafted DHCP requests to cause the server to stop responding (CVE-2009-1892).

Packages for 2008.0 are being provided due to extended support for Corporate products.

This update provides fixes for this vulnerability.

Title: USN-803-2 -- dhcp3 vulnerability
Description: USN-803-1 fixed a vulnerability in Dhcp. Due to an error, the patch to fix the vulnerability was not properly applied on Ubuntu 8.10 and higher. Even with the patch improperly applied, the default compiler options reduced the vulnerability to a denial of service. Additionally, in Ubuntu 9.04 and higher, users were also protected by the AppArmor dhclient3 profile. This update fixes the problem. Original advisory details: It was discovered that the DHCP client as included in dhcp3 did not verify the length of certain option fields when processing a response from an IPv4 dhcp server. If a user running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS or 8.04 LTS connected to a malicious dhcp server, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program, typically the "dhcp" user. For users running Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04, a remote attacker should only be able to cause a denial of service in the DHCP client. In Ubuntu 9.04, attackers would also be isolated by the AppArmor dhclient3 profile.

Title: DSA-1833-1 dhcp3 -- several
Description: Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in ISC's DHCP implementation: It was discovered that dhclient does not properly handle overlong subnet mask options, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow and possible arbitrary code execution. Christoph Biedl discovered that the DHCP server may terminate when receiving certain well-formed DHCP requests, provided that the server configuration mixes host definitions using "dhcp-client-identifier" and "hardware ethernet". This vulnerability only affects the lenny versions of dhcp3-server and dhcp3-server-ldap. For the old stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.4-13+etch2. For the stable distribution, this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.1-6+lenny2. For the unstable distribution, these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your dhcp3 packages.
