Severity
Summary
FastNetMon Community Edition through 1.2.9 contains an out-of-bounds read in the IPv4 packet parser. In src/simple_packet_parser_ng.cpp, after validating that the packet contains at least sizeof(ipv4_header_t) bytes (20 bytes), the code advances the local_pointer by '4 * ipv4_header->get_ihl()' (line 164) without validating that (a) IHL >= 5 (the minimum valid value per RFC 791), or (b) 4 * IHL bytes are actually available in the packet. The IHL field is 4 bits, allowing values 0-15, so the advance can be 0-60 bytes. An IHL value of 15 with only 20 bytes validated causes a 40-byte over-read. An IHL of 0-4 causes the pointer to not advance past the IP header, resulting in the TCP/UDP header being parsed from IP header data (type confusion). This vulnerability is reachable via any packet capture interface.

"value": "FastNetMon Community Edition hasta la versi\u00f3n 1.2.9 contiene una lectura fuera de l\u00edmites en el analizador de paquetes IPv4. En src/simple_packet_parser_ng.cpp, despu\u00e9s de validar que el paquete contiene al menos sizeof(ipv4_header_t) bytes (20 bytes), el c\u00f3digo avanza el local_pointer en \u00274 * ipv4_header-\u003eget_ihl()\u0027 (l\u00ednea 164) sin validar que (a) IHL \u003e= 5 (el valor m\u00ednimo v\u00e1lido seg\u00fan RFC 791), o (b) 4 * IHL bytes est\u00e9n realmente disponibles en el paquete. El campo IHL es de 4 bits, permitiendo valores de 0 a 15, por lo que el avance puede ser de 0 a 60 bytes. Un valor IHL de 15 con solo 20 bytes validados causa una lectura excesiva de 40 bytes. Un IHL de 0-4 hace que el puntero no avance m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la cabecera IP, lo que resulta en que la cabecera TCP/UDP se analice a partir de datos de la cabecera IP (confusi\u00f3n de tipos). Esta vulnerabilidad es alcanzable a trav\u00e9s de cualquier interfaz de captura de paquetes."
