CVSS v3.1
9.8
Critical
| 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
pktap if print() function within the print-pktap.c file of the Apple PKTAP parser in tcpdump. This indicates a problem where more data is read from a buffer than it actually contains, potentially leading to information disclosure or crashes.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
pktap if print() function until a patch is available.Exploit
