Medium

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: tcpdump versions 3.8.3 and earlier

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop, via crafted packets. This can be achieved through either a BGP packet that is not properly handled by RT ROUTING INFO or an LDP packet that is not properly handled by the ldp print function.

Recommendations: For versions 3.8.3 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.8.3 to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the handling of BGP and LDP packets to minimize the risk of exploitation.
