TCPDump BGP Decoding Routines Denial Of Service Vulnerability
The tcpdump utility is prone to a vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to cause a denial-of-service condition in the software. The issue occurs due to the way tcpdump decodes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packets. A remote attacker may cause the software to enter an infinite loop by sending malformed BGP packets, resulting in the software hanging. Versions up to and including 3.8.3 of tcpdump are reported prone to this issue. |
