[klibc] [oss-security] CVE request: klibc: ipconfig sh script with unescaped DHCP options

[Dan Rosenberg]

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?
