The print_option function in dhcp-common.c in dhcpcd through 6.10.2 misinterprets the return value of the snprintf function, which allows remote DHCP servers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted message (CVE-2014-7913). The dhcpcd package has been updated to version 6.11.0 which fixes this issue and has several other bug fixes and enhancements.
| OS | Version | Architecture | Package | Version | Filename |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mageia | 5 | noarch | dhcpcd | < 6.11.0-1 | dhcpcd-6.11.0-1.mga5 |
