Title: EGI SVG 'ADVISORY' [TLP:WHITE] 'CRITICAL' risk vulnerability - Command injection via DHCP response CVE-2018-1111 [EGI-SVG-CVE-2018-1111] Date: 2018-05-16 Updated: Affected software and risk ========================== CRITICAL risk vulnerability concerning NetworkManager integration script included in the DHCP client packages in RedHat Enterprise Linux and derivatives. Package : DHCP Client Script (dhclient) CVE ID : CVE-2018-1111 Bug ID : A command injection flaw was found in a script included in the DHCP client (dhclient) packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7. 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 with DHCP enabled. [R 1] Actions required/recommended ============================ Sites running RedHat 6 and 7 and their derivatives are required to urgently apply vendor updates All running resources MUST be either patched or have mitigation in place or software removed by 2018-05-24 00:00 UTC Sites failing to act and/or failing to respond to requests from the EGI CSIRT team risk site suspension. Component installation information ================================== Sites running Red should see [R 2] Sites running Scientific linux should see [R 3] Sites running CentOS should see [R 4] There is no information yet concerning whether Debian or Ubuntu are affected. Mitigation ========== It is also possible to manually fix the vulnerable script by replacing ```while read opt``` with ```while read -r opt``` on line 10 of: - /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/10-dhclient on RHEL6 & derivatives - /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient on RHEL7 & derivatives However, we strongly advise sites to simply update the package, to avoid any complication.
