Double free vulnerability in the SLPDKnownDAAdd function in slpd/slpd_knownda.c in OpenSLP 1.2.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted package.

The remote VMware ESXi host is version 5.5 prior to build 3029944. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to a double-free error in the SLPDProcessMessage() function in OpenSLP. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted package, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.

The remote VMware ESXi host is version 5.1 prior to build 3021178. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to a double-free error in the SLPDProcessMessage() function in OpenSLP. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted package, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.

The remote VMware ESXi host is version 5.0 prior to build 3021432. It is, therefore, affected by a remote code execution vulnerability due to a double-free error in the SLPDProcessMessage() function in OpenSLP. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a crafted package, to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service condition.

Qinghao Tang of QIHU 360 discovered a double free flaw in OpenSLP, an implementation of the IETF Service Location Protocol. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash).

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-2730-1 advisory.

    Georgi Geshev discovered that OpenSLP incorrectly handled processing certain service requests. A remote     attacker could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSLP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This     issue only affected Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. (CVE-2012-4428)

    Qinghao Tang discovered that OpenSLP incorrectly handled processing certain messages. A remote attacker     could possibly use this issue to cause OpenSLP to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-5177)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Several issues have been found and solved in OpenSLP, that implements the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Service Location Protocol standards protocol.

CVE-2010-3609

Remote attackers could cause a Denial of Service in the Service Location Protocol daemon (SLPD) via a crafted packet with a 'next extension offset'.

CVE-2012-4428

Georgi Geshev discovered that an out-of-bounds read error in the SLPIntersectStringList() function could be used to cause a DoS.

CVE-2015-5177

A double free in the SLPDProcessMessage() function could be used to cause openslp to crash.

For Debian 6 'Squeeze', these problems have been fixed in openslp-dfsg version 1.2.1-7.8+deb6u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your openslp-dfsg packages.
