DHCP Client Command Injection (DynoRoot)
Posted on 13 June 2018
This Metasploit module exploits the DynoRoot vulnerability, a flaw in how the NetworkManager integration script included in the DHCP client in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, Fedora 28, and earlier processes DHCP options. A malicious DHCP server, or an attacker on the local network able to spoof DHCP responses, could use this flaw to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on systems using NetworkManager and configured to obtain network configuration using the DHCP protocol.
