Detail

Product: Solaris 8 Operating System Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System OpenSolaris

Security vulnerabilities in the DHCP (in.dhcpd(1M)) server handling of DHCP requests may allow a remote unprivileged user to kill the DHCP server daemon (Denial of Service) or to execute arbitrary code as the root user.

One of the issues described here is also referenced in the following document:

Title: Security Vulnerabilities in DHCP Handling of DHCP Requests May Allow Remote Users to Execute Arbitrary Code or Cause a Denial of the DHCP Service
Description: in.dhcpd in the DHCP implementation in Sun Solaris 8 through 10, and OpenSolaris before snv_103, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via unknown DHCP requests related to the "number of offers," aka Bug ID 6713805.

Title: Security Vulnerabilities in DHCP Handling of DHCP Requests May Allow Remote Users to Execute Arbitrary Code or Cause a Denial of the DHCP Service
Description: Stack-based buffer overflow in the cons_options function in options.c in dhcpd in OpenBSD 4.0 through 4.2, and some other dhcpd implementations based on ISC dhcp-2, allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via a DHCP request specifying a maximum message size smaller than the minimum IP MTU.
