Subject: Re: [klibc] CVE request: klibc: ipconfig sh script
with unescaped DHCP options
Might it be worth fixing the insecure temporary file usage?
122 snprintf(fn, sizeof(fn), "/tmp/net-%s.conf", dev->name);
123 f = fopen(fn, "w");
What if someone else has already created that file, or put a symlink
or hard link there? What if someone overwrites your string with
command injection characters despite your stripping?
