CVE-2017-12898

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

Description The issue is related to a buffer over-read in the NFS parser component of tcpdump. This could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information by sending a specially crafted request. The buffer over-read occurs in the interp reply() function.

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 NFS parser component to minimize the risk of exploitation.
