The Internet Software Consortium discovered several vulnerabilities during an audit of the ISC DHCP Daemon. The vulnerabilities exist in error handling routines within the minires library and may be exploitable as stack overflows. This could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code under the user id the dhcpd runs under, usually root. Other DHCP servers than dhcp3 doesn’t seem to be affected.
