Detail

Updated tcpdump package fixes security vulnerabilities:

The Tcpdump program could crash when processing a malformed OLSR payload when the verbose output flag was set (CVE-2014-8767).

The application decoder for the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol in Tcpdump fails to perform input validation and performs unsafe out-of-bound accesses. The application will usually not crash, but perform out-of-bounds accesses and output/leak larger amounts of invalid data, which might lead to dropped packets. It is unknown if a payload exists that might trigger segfaults (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).

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.
