high Nessus Plugin ID 166649

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the versions of the tcpdump package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - The command-line argument parser in tcpdump before 4.99.0 has a buffer overflow in tcpdump.c:read_infile(). To trigger this vulnerability the attacker needs to create a 4GB file on the local filesystem and to specify the file name as the value of the -F command-line argument of tcpdump.
 (CVE-2018-16301)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected tcpdump packages.
