Synopsis
========
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in dhcpcd allowing remote
attackers to possibly execute arbitrary code or cause a Denial of
Service.

Background
==========
A fully featured, yet light weight RFC2131 compliant DHCP client

Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/dhcpcd < 6.10.0 >= 6.10.0

Description
===========
A heap overflow can be trigged via malformed DHCP responses in the
print_option (via dhcp_envoption1) due to incorrect option length
values. These vulnerabilities could also allow remote attackers to
trigger an invalid read/crash via malformed DHCP responses.

Impact
======
Remote attackers could possibly execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the process or cause Denial of Service.

Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========
All dhcpcd users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/dhcpcd-6.10.0=E2=80=9D=
