fix the vulnerability was not properly applied on Ubuntu 8.10 and higher.
Even with the patch improperly applied, the default compiler options
reduced the vulnerability to a denial of service. Additionally, in Ubuntu
9.04 and higher, users were also protected by the AppArmor dhclient3
profile. This update fixes the problem.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that the DHCP client as included in dhcp3 did not verify
the length of certain option fields when processing a response from an IPv4
dhcp server. If a user running Ubuntu 6.06 LTS or 8.04 LTS connected to a
malicious dhcp server, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service or
execute arbitrary code as the user invoking the program, typically the
'dhcp' user. For users running Ubuntu 8.10 or 9.04, a remote attacker
should only be able to cause a denial of service in the DHCP client. In
Ubuntu 9.04, attackers would also be isolated by the AppArmor dhclient3
profile.");
