In fastd, a fast and secure tunnelling daemon, a receive buffer handling problem was discovered which allows a denial of service (memory exhaustion) when receiving packets with an invalid type code.
For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 18-2+deb9u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your fastd packages.
For the detailed security status of fastd please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/fastd
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
