Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2014.0503
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2014-0503)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'tcpdump' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0503 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'tcpdump' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2014-0503 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
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).

Affected Software/OS:
'tcpdump' package(s) on Mageia 4.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.4
