CVE-2017-13006

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions tcpdump versions prior to 4.9.2

Description The issue concerns a buffer over-read in the L2TP parser, specifically within the print-l2tp.c file, affecting several functions. This could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information by sending a specially crafted request to exploit the buffer overread memory in the affected component.

Recommendations For versions prior to 4.9.2, update to version 4.9.2 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the L2TP parser until the update is applied.
