Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in tcpdump.

Software Description: - tcpdump: command-line network traffic analyzer

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)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
tcpdump 4.6.2-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
tcpdump 4.5.1-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
tcpdump 4.2.1-1ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
tcpdump 4.0.0-6ubuntu3.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
