Synopsis

The remote SuSE 10 host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

A rogue DHCP server could instruct clients to use a host name that contains shell meta characters. Since many scripts in the system do not expect unusal characters in the system's host name the DHCP client needs to sanitize the host name offered by the server. (CVE-2011-0997)
