Upgrade opensuse/wicked to version 0.6.79 or higher.
Overview
Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Command Injection through leaseinfo dump output in src/leaseinfo.c. An attacker can execute commands by supplying DHCP option values or leaseinfo strings containing single quotes that are written into /run/wicked/leaseinfo.* and later consumed by wicked test dhcp4, wicked test dhcp6, or netconfig processing. The vulnerable formatting code emitted unescaped single-quoted key='value' lines and joined string arrays without rejecting unsafe content, so crafted DHCP-provided strings could escape the quoted value and alter the shell command constructed from the leaseinfo file. On affected systems, this can lead to arbitrary command execution by the component processing lease information, with downstream impact on network configuration and on the host running wicked.
