------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3578-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Markus Koschany September 22, 2023 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : lldpd Version : 1.0.3-1+deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2023-41910

Matteo Memelli discovered a flaw in lldpd, an implementation of the IEEE 802.1ab protocol. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds read on heap memory.

For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.3-1+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lldpd packages.

For the detailed security status of lldpd please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/lldpd
