All I can say is I do not get it. About the only thing I can think of is is to search with find / -iname dhcp and see if anything interesting crops up. Other than that, I'm completely out of ideas.
Package name dhcpcd
Date January 9th, 2003
Advisory ID MDKSA-2003:003
Affected versions 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, 9.0, Single Network Firewall 7.2, Multi Network Firewall 8.2
Synopsis Updated dhcpcd packages fix character expansion vulnerability
Problem Description
A vulnerability was discovered by Simon Kelley in the dhcpcd DHCP client daemon. dhcpcd has the ability to execute an external script named dhcpcd-.exe when an IP address is assigned to that network interface. The script sources the file /var/lib/dhcpcd/dhcpcd-.info which contains shell variables and DHCP assignment information. The way quotes are handled inside these assignments is flawed, and a malicious DHCP server can execute arbitrary shell commands on the vulnerable DHCP client system. This can also be exploited by an attacker able to spoof DHCP responses.
Mandrake Linux packages contain a sample /etc/dhcpc/dhcpcd.exe file and encourages all users to upgrade immediately. Please note that when you do upgrade, you will have to restart the network for the changes to take proper effect by issuing "service network restart" as root.
I wonder if this means that it's gone or that I have to install it...althought I don't have any packacge called dhcpcd...there's got to be something else driving the dhcp server. I'm on the hunt.
Mandrake 10.0:
For me, /sbin/dhclient did what the missing dhcpcd was mentioned to do.
BTW- for Mandrake, dhcpcd is on the 3 main install disks..if you to configure system etc. and search for it, you can install it from cd. I didn't, because I saw dhclient and it worked for me (for now at least).
