CVE-2018-16301 (GCVE-0-2018-16301)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2019-10-03 15:55 – Updated: 2024-08-05 10:17
VLAI
Summary
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.
