Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions tcpdump versions prior to 4.9.2

Description The issue is related to a buffer over-read in the EIGRP parser of tcpdump, which could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information. This can be achieved by sending a specially crafted request to exploit the buffer overread memory in the HNCP component.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.9.2, update to version 4.9.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the HNCP component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
