**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions** libnids versions prior to 1.18 **Description** The issue affects the TCP reassembly functionality in libnids, allowing remote attackers to cause memory corruption and possibly execute arbitrary code via overlarge TCP packets. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of these vulnerabilities can be carried out remotely. **Recommendations** For libnids versions prior to 1.18, update to version 1.18 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the TCP reassembly functionality until a patch is available.
