Package: dhcp3-client
Version: 3.0.3-3
Severity: wishlist
Some of us have to use dhcp3-client to tie to very, very hostile networks,
such as ADSL or cable. The DHCP server on these networks often migrate
without warning, so we never know from which IP the answer will come.
It would be *very* handy to be able to:
reject 10.0.0.0/8 192.168.0.0/16 172.16.0.0/12 169.254.0.0/16;
to at least reject all rogue DHCP servers caused by morons in the local
cable/ADSL network (which IS quite common), and fucked up cable modems that
are non-configurable and try to give you broken addresses when the cable is
down (which is even more common than morons with DHCP servers, at least here
in Brazil). It won't get real attacks, but these are very very rare.
Obviously there is absolutely no acceptable way to do this on dhclient3
currently. Packet filter rules must be used on the prerouting chain...
which is ugly at best.
