Synopsis ========
A vulnerability has been discovered in tcpdump, allowing for the execution of arbitrary code, possibly with root privileges.
Background ==========
tcpdump is a tool for capturing and inspecting network traffic.
Affected packages =================
------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/tcpdump < 3.9.5-r3 >= 3.9.5-r3
Description ===========
mu-b from Digital Labs discovered that the return value of a snprintf() call is not properly checked before being used. This could lead to an integer overflow.
Impact ======
A remote attacker could send specially crafted BGP packets on a network being monitored with tcpdump, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running tcpdump, which is usually root.
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-3.9.5-r3"
