CVE-2017-5482

CVSS v3.1

9.8

Critical

VectorAV: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 4.9.0
Description The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the Q.933 parser and the ISO CLNS parser in the print-isoclns.c:clnp print() function. This is caused by improper bounds checking, allowing a remote attacker to overflow a buffer and potentially execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
Recommendations For versions prior to 4.9.0, update to version 4.9.0 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the tcpdump application to minimize the risk of exploitation.
