_____________________________________________________________________________________________
A security hole has been discovered in the dhcp packages. Please update
the packages in your installation as soon as possible.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
1. Problem Summary
It is possible for a user to gain root access to a system through the
use of clever shell metacharacter hacks.
2. Solution
Update the package from our ftp server by running the following
command:
rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename
Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/dhcp-2.0pl5-2.i386.rpm
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/dhcp-client-2.0pl5-2.i386.rpm
The source RPM can be downloaded here:
ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/dhcp-2.0pl5-2.src.rpm
**Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to download
and install the SRPM. Simply installing the SRPM alone WILL NOT CLOSE
THE SECURITY HOLE.
Please verify the MD5 checksums of the updates before you install:
MD5 sum Package Name
