    OOBR in rpcap client in libpcap before 1.10.7

    The rpcap client code that processes a RPCAP_MSG_PACKET message received from the server incorrectly validates its headers. A malicious server can send a crafted message and cause the client to treat up to 20 bytes of the client process memory beyond the end …

    rpcapd memory leak in libpcap before 1.10.7

    rpcapd can allocate up to 65536 bytes per each RPCAP_MSG_UPDATEFILTER_REQ or RPCAP_MSG_STARTCAP_REQ message received from the client, but it never frees the memory, so it leaks memory even under normal use. A malicious client can cause the server to leak memo…

    infinte loop in libpcap before 1.10.7

    libpcap BPF interpreter treats the offset in the 'ja L' BPF instruction as a signed integer to implement looping via backward jumps, but it does not limit the number of loop iterations. A crafted filter program or the 'protochain' primitive used on a crafted …

    division by zero in libpcap before 1.10.7

    libpcap BPF interpreter for the 'div #k' and 'mod #k' ALU instructions does not check whether the immediate value is zero. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can cause a division by zero.

  • Medium 5.5

    abort() in libpcap before 1.10.7 on an invalid BPF opcode

    libpcap BPF interpreter calls abort() if it encounters a BPF instruction that has an invalid opcode. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter program can terminate the OS process.

  • Medium 5.5

    OOBR in libpcap before 1.10.7

    libpcap BPF interpreter detects neither reaching the end of the filter program buffer due to lack of a return instruction nor executing a jump instruction with an offset that translates to a pointer outside of the buffer. In particular uncommon use cases a cr…

  • High 8.7

    OOBR and OOBW in libpcap before 1.10.7

    In BPF instructions that load/store a value from/to a scratch memory register the register index is an unsigned 32-bit integer and must not exceed 15, but libpcap BPF interpreter does not validate the value. In particular uncommon use cases a crafted filter p…

    OOBR and OOBW in pcap_ether_aton() in libpcap

    pcap_ether_aton() is an auxiliary function in libpcap, it takes a string argument and returns a fixed-size allocated buffer. The string argument must be a well-formed MAC-48 address in one of the supported formats, but this requirement has been poorly documen…

  • Medium 5.3

    sf-pcapng.c in libpcap before 1.9.1 does not properly validate the PHB header length before allocating memory.
