Description
This module exploits the DynoRoot vulnerability, a flaw in how the
NetworkManager integration script included in the DHCP client in
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7, Fedora 28, and earlier
processes DHCP options. A malicious DHCP server, or an attacker on
the local network able to spoof DHCP responses, could use this flaw
to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on systems using
NetworkManager and configured to obtain network configuration using
the DHCP protocol.
