commit 92e22ca23e52066da2258df8c76a2dca8a428bcc

set_interface_var() doesn't check interface name and blindly does
    fopen(path "/" ifname, "w") on it.  As "ifname" is an untrusted input, it
    should be checked for ".." and/or "/" in it.  Otherwise, an infected
    unprivileged daemon may overwrite contents of file named "mtu",
    "hoplimit", etc. in arbitrary location with arbitrary 32-bit value in
    decimal representation ("%d").  If an attacker has a local account or
    may create arbitrary symlinks with these names in any location (e.g.
    /tmp), any file may be overwritten with a decimal value.
