CVE-2017-11108 [HIGH] tcpdump vulnerabilities
Title: tcpdump vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in tcpdump.
Wilfried Kirsch discovered a buffer overflow in the SLIP decoder
in tcpdump. A remote attacker could use this to cause a denial
of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2017-11543)
Bhargava Shastry discovered a buffer overflow in the bitfield converter
utility function bittok2str_internal() in tcpdump. A remote attacker
could use this to cause a denial of service (application crash)
or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-13011)
Otto Airamo and Antti Levomäki discovered logic errors in different
protocol parsers in tcpdump that could lead to an infinite loop. A
remote attacker could use these to cause a denial of service
(application hang). CVE-2017-12989, CVE-201
