Detail

Synopsis

A buffer overflow in pump might allow remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

Background

BOOTP and DHCP client for automatic IP configuration.

Description

It was discovered that there was an arbitrary code execution vulnerability in the pump DHCP/BOOTP client.

Impact

A remote attacker, by enticing a user to connect to a malicious server, could cause the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running pump DHCP/BOOTP client.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

Gentoo has discontinued support for pump. We recommend that users unmerge pump:
# emerge --unmerge "net-misc/pump"
