Descriptions
The IPv6 parser in tcpdump before 4.9.0 has a buffer overflow in print-ip6.c:ip6_print().
El analizador IPv6 en tcpdump en versiones anteriores a 4.9.0 tiene un desbordamiento de búfer en print-ip6.c:ip6_print().
Multiple out of bounds read and integer overflow vulnerabilities were found in tcpdump affecting the decoding of various protocols. An attacker could create a crafted pcap file or send specially crafted packets to the network segment where tcpdump is running in live capture mode (without -w) which could cause it to display incorrect data, crash or enter an infinite loop.
