CVE-2018-16227 [HIGH] CWE-125 tcpdump: Buffer over-read in print-802_11.c
tcpdump: Buffer over-read in print-802_11.c
The IEEE 802.11 parser in tcpdump before 4.9.3 has a buffer over-read in print-802_11.c for the Mesh Flags subfield.
An out-of-bounds read vulnerability was discovered in tcpdump while printing IEEE 802.11 packets captured in a pcap file or coming from the network. A remote attacker may abuse this flaw by sending specially crafted packets that, when printed, would trigger the flaw and crash the application.
