CVE-2017-13007

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 pktap if print() function within the print-pktap.c file of the Apple PKTAP parser in tcpdump. This indicates a problem where more data is read from a buffer than it actually contains, potentially leading to information disclosure or crashes.

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 pktap if print() function until a patch is available.
