Openwall GNU/*/Linux Information for VU#654390

Date Notified06/12/2004
Date Modified07/21/2004 10:33:59 AM
Status SummaryUnknown

Vendor Statement

Openwall GNU/*/Linux (Owl) is not vulnerable to VU#317350 as we only ship dhcpd derived from version 3.0pl2. Since the very inclusion of the DHCP suite in Owl, we also include a patch which makes dhcpd run as its dedicated pseudo-user and in a chroot jail. In response to these new findings, we're adding another "hardening" patch which forces the use of snprintf() and vsnprintf() in all places where *sprintf() was used with non-constant string arguments.
