Title: DSA-2216-1 isc-dhcp -- missing input sanitisation
Description: Sebastian Krahmer and Marius Tomaschewski discovered that dhclient of isc-dhcp, a DHCP client, is not properly filtering shell meta-characters in certain options in DHCP server responses. These options are reused in an insecure fashion by dhclient scripts. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of such a process by sending crafted DHCP options to a client using a rogue server.

Id Description
71493 ISC DHCP dhclient Response Handling Metacharacter Shell Command Execution

ISC DHCP contains a flaw related to the dhclient-script script failing to properly strip shell meta-characters when processing responses from DHCP servers. This may allow a remote attacker to use a crafted hostname response to execute arbitrary shell commands.
