Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

CVE-2002-0702 describes format string vulnerabilities in the logging routines for dynamic DNS code in the ISC DHCP daemon (DHCPD) versions 3 to 3.0.1rc8, with the NSUPDATE option enabled. This allows remote malicious DNS servers to execute arbitrary code via format strings in a DNS server response.

Risk Assessment

Organizations may be exposed to remote code execution, potentially leading to system compromise or data leakage. Specifically, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to introduce malicious software.

Recommendation

It is recommended to update the ISC DHCP daemon to the latest version to mitigate this vulnerability. Additionally, consider disabling the NSUPDATE option if it is not necessary.
