Summary

tcpdump vulnerabilities

Details

Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing OSLR packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8767)

Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing GeoNet packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2014-8768)

Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing AODV packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, reveal sensitive information, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8769)

It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing PPP packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-9140)

In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump AppArmor profile.
