Updated tcpdump package fixes security vulnerabilities :

The Tcpdump program could crash when processing a malformed OLSR payload when the verbose output flag was set (CVE-2014-8767).

The application decoder for the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol in Tcpdump fails to perform input validation and performs unsafe out-of-bound accesses. The application will usually not crash, but perform out-of-bounds accesses and output/leak larger amounts of invalid data, which might lead to dropped packets. It is unknown if a payload exists that might trigger segfaults (CVE-2014-8769).

It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing PPP packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2014-9140).

Security fix for CVE-2014-8767 CVE-2014-8768 CVE-2014-8769

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201502-05 (tcpdump: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in tcpdump:
      The olsr_print function function contains an integer underflow error         (CVE-2014-8767)       The geonet_print function function contains multiple integer         underflow errors (CVE-2014-8768)       The decoder for the Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector protocol         contains an out-of-bounds memory access error (CVE-2014-8769)       The ppp_hdlc function contains a buffer overflow error         (CVE-2014-9140)   Impact :

    A remote attacker may be able to send a specially crafted packet,       possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code or a Denial of Service       condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Integer underflow in the olsr_print function in tcpdump 3.9.6 through 4.6.2, when in verbose mode, allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted length value in an OLSR frame.

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

Security fix for CVE-2014-8767 CVE-2014-8769

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2433-1 advisory.

    Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing OSLR packets. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. (CVE-2014-8767)

    Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing GeoNet packets. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary     code. This issue only applied to Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.10. (CVE-2014-8768)

    Steffen Bauch discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing AODV packets. A remote attacker could     use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, reveal sensitive information,     or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2014-8769)

    It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing PPP packets. A remote attacker could use this     issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
    (CVE-2014-9140)

    In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump AppArmor profile.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
