remote exploitation by a corrupt dhcp server, (or an attacker
pretending to be a dhcp server). If this vulnerability is exploited,
root access can be gained on the host running dhcp client remotely.
The problem is that input is not checked and, as a result, it is
possible to execute commands remotely when the network config files
are being written on the dhcp client."
