CVE-2015-0261 tcpdump vulnerabilities
Title: tcpdump vulnerabilities
Summary: tcpdump could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.
It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing certain
packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump
AppArmor profile.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

This is caused by missing sanity checks in the osi_print_cksum() function in print-isoclns.c.
The function may call the create_osi_cksum() function in checksum.c with invalid data. Fortunately, this seems to be exploitable for an application crash due to an out-of-bounds read only.

The problem here is a simple missing length check in the rpki_rtr_pdu_print() function in print-rpki-rtr.c when processing RPKI-RTR PDUs (Protocol Data Units) with an incorrect header length.
Without this check, the function will try to operate on invalid data when processing certain packets, leading to all kinds of unwanted side effects
