tcpdump rawprint ISAKMP denial of service
| tcpdump-rawprint-isakmp-dos (14837) |  High Risk |
Description:
The tcpdump utility is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a vulnerability in the rawprint function in the print-radius.c file. By sending a malformed ISAKMP packet containing invalid 'len' or 'loc' values, a remote attacker could cause a segmentation fault or possibly execute arbitrary code with pcap privileges.
Consequences:
