Proposed patch

There is a buffer overrun vulnerability in function make_request of sbin/dhclient/dhclient.c, which is similar to the vulnerability that was fixed in https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd/commit/16b93d101357f716946014207ddfe9d849f97fc9.

        /* set unique client identifier */
        char client_ident[sizeof(struct hardware)];
        if (!options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER]) {
                int hwlen = (ip->hw_address.hlen < sizeof(client_ident)-1) ?
                                ip->hw_address.hlen : sizeof(client_ident)-1;
                client_ident[0] = ip->hw_address.htype;
                memcpy(&client_ident[1], ip->hw_address.haddr, hwlen);
                options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER] = &option_elements[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER];
                options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER]->value = client_ident;
                options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER]->len = hwlen+1;
                options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER]->buf_size = hwlen+1;
                options[DHO_DHCP_CLIENT_IDENTIFIER]->timeout = 0xFFFFFFFF;
        }

A DHCP client identifier is simply the hardware type (one byte) concatenated with the hardware address.
We should set the lengthe of clinet_ident to sizeof(ip->hw_address.haddr) + 1, instead of sizeof(struct hardware).

The attachment is the proposed patch.

LGTM. cem@ seeing as you committed the last patch like this can you do it here, and MFC too?
Comment 2 Conrad Meyer freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2019-11-29 03:32:21 UTC
I put it in CURRENT but someone else can MFC if they like.

Log:
  Fix braino in previous bugfix r300174

  The previous revision missed the exact same error in a copy paste block
  of the same code in another function.  Fix the identical case, too.

  A DHCP client identifier is simply the hardware type (one byte)
  concatenated with the hardware address (some variable number of bytes,
  but at most 16).  Limit the size of the temporary buffer to match and
  the rest of the calculations shake out correctly.

  Security:	yes
