Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities in tcpdump could result in execution of arbitrary code or Denial of Service.

Background

tcpdump is a tool for capturing and inspecting network traffic.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in tcpdump:

* The olsr_print function function contains an integer underflow error (CVE-2014-8767)
* The geonet_print function function contains multiple integer underflow errors (CVE-2014-8768)
* The decoder for the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol contains an out-of-bounds memory access error (CVE-2014-8769)
* The ppp_hdlc function contains a buffer overflow error (CVE-2014-9140)

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to send a specially crafted packet, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All tcpdump users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/tcpdump-4.6.2-r1"

Title: USN-2433-1 -- tcpdump vulnerabilities
Description: 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. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-8767">CVE-2014-8767</a>) 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. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-8768">CVE-2014-8768</a>) 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. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-8769">CVE-2014-8769</a>) 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. (<a href="http://people.ubuntu.com/~ubuntu-security/cve/CVE-2014-9140">CVE-2014-9140</a>) In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump AppArmor profile.
