====================================================================                   Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis:          Critical: dhcp security update
Advisory ID:       RHSA-2018:1457-01
Product:           Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL:      https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2018:1457
Issue date:        2018-05-15
CVE Names:         CVE-2018-1111 
====================================================================
1. Summary:

An update for dhcp is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2
Advanced Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Telco Extended Update
Support, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.2 Update Services for SAP
Solutions.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Critical. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server AUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server E4S (v. 7.2) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional AUS (v. 7.2) - x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional E4S (v. 7.2) - x86_64

3. Description:

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol that allows
individual devices on an IP network to get their own network configuration
information, including an IP address, a subnet mask, and a broadcast
address. The dhcp packages provide a relay agent and ISC DHCP service
required to enable and administer DHCP on a network.

Security Fix(es):

* A command injection flaw was found in the NetworkManager integration
script included in the DHCP client packages in Red Hat Enterprise Linux. 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. (CVE-2018-1111)

Red Hat would like to thank Felix Wilhelm (Google Security Team) for
reporting this issue.
