<package name="dev-libs/klibc" auto="yes" arch="*">

<background>
<p>klibc is a minimalistic libc used for making an initramfs.</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>The ipconfig utility in klibc writes DHCP options to
/tmp/net-$DEVICE.conf, and this file is later sourced by other scripts to
get defined variables. The options written to this file are not properly
escaped.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>A remote attacker could send a specially crafted DHCP reply, which could
execute arbitrary shell code with the privileges of any process which
sources DHCP options.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>All klibc users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=dev-libs/klibc-1.5.25"
</code>
</resolution>
