patches for easier mirroring, to eliminate a special copy, to make www.freebsd.org/security a full copy of security.freebsd.org and be eventually be the same. For now files are just sitting there. The symlinks are missing. Discussed on: www (repository location) Discussed with: simon (so)

CVE Name: CVE-2007-3798
|
|
|
|
For general information regarding FreeBSD Security Advisories,
|
|
including descriptions of the fields above, security branches, and the
|
|
following sections, please visit <URL:http://security.FreeBSD.org/>.
|
|
|
|
I. Background
|
|
|
|
Tcpdump is a commonly used network diagnostic utility which decodes packets
|
|
received on the wire into human readable format.
|
|
|
|
II. Problem Description
|
|
|
|
An un-checked return value in the BGP dissector code can result in an integer
|
|
overflow. This value is used in subsequent buffer management operations,
|
|
resulting in a stack based buffer overflow under certain circumstances.
|
|
|
|
III. Impact
|
|
|
|
By crafting malicious BGP packets, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability
|
|
to execute code or crash the tcpdump process on the target system. This
|
|
code would be executed in the context of the user running tcpdump(1).
|
|
It should be noted that tcpdump(1) requires privileges in order to open live
|
|
network interfaces.
|
|
|
|
IV. Workaround
|
|
|
|
No workaround is available.
|
|
|
|
V. Solution
|
|
|
|
Perform one of the following:
|
|
|
|
1) Upgrade your vulnerable system to 5-STABLE, or 6-STABLE, or to the
|
|
RELENG_6_2, RELENG_6_1, or RELENG_5_5 security branch dated after the
|
|
correction date.
|
|
|
|
2) To patch your present system:
|
|
|
|
The following patches have been verified to apply to FreeBSD 5.5, 6.1,
|
|
and 6.2 systems.
|
|
|
|
a) Download the relevant patch from the location below, and verify the
|
|
detached PGP signature using your PGP utility.
|
|
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:06/tcpdump.patch
|
|
# fetch http://security.FreeBSD.org/patches/SA-07:06/tcpdump.patch.asc
|
|
|
|
b) Execute the following commands as root:
|
|
|
|
# cd /usr/src
|
|
# patch < /path/to/patch
|
|
# cd /usr/src/usr.sbin/tcpdump/tcpdump
|
|
# make obj && make depend && make && make install
