The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'dhcp3' package(s) announced via the DSA-2217-1 advisory by Greenbone AG. Sebastian Krahmer and Marius Tomaschewski discovered that dhclient of dhcp3, a DHCP client, is not properly filtering shell meta-characters in certain options in DHCP server responses, allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of such a process by sending crafted DHCP options to a client using a rogue server

These options are reused in an insecure fashion by dhclient scripts. This allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of such a process by sending crafted DHCP options to a client using a rogue server.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 3.1.1-6+lenny5.

For the stable (squeeze), testing (wheezy) and unstable (sid) distributions, this problem has been fixed in an additional update for isc-dhcp.

We recommend that you upgrade your dhcp3 packages.");
