NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream dracut-ima package and not the dracut-ima package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in dracut. A remote attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability by providing specially crafted DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) options, such as a malicious hostname, to a system using dracut's legacy DHCP path. These options are improperly handled and written into temporary shell scripts without proper escaping, leading to command injection. This allows the attacker to achieve root code execution within the initramfs, potentially compromising the system's boot and network behavior.
