Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59224
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-531-2 (dhcp)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to dhcp
announced via advisory USN-531-2.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10
Ubuntu 7.04
Ubuntu 7.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

Details follow:

USN-531-1 fixed vulnerabilities in dhcp. The fixes were incomplete,
and only reduced the scope of the vulnerability, without fully solving
it. This update fixes the problem.

Original advisory details:

Nahuel Riva and Gerardo Richarte discovered that the DHCP server did not
correctly handle certain client options. A remote attacker could send
malicious DHCP replies to the server and execute arbitrary code.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
dhcp 2.0pl5-19.4ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 6.10:
dhcp 2.0pl5-19.4ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 7.04:
dhcp 2.0pl5-19.5ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 7.10:
dhcp 2.0pl5dfsg1-20ubuntu1.2

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to affect the
necessary changes.
