The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • tcpdump: Buffer overflow in the -F command line argument parser (CVE-2018-16301)

  • tcpdump: Buffer over-read in vrrp_print() function in print-vrrp.c (CVE-2019-15167)

  • tcpdump before 4.9.3 has a heap-based buffer over-read related to aoe_print in print-aoe.c and lookup_emem in addrtoname.c. (CVE-2017-16808)

  • The ppp decapsulator in tcpdump 4.9.3 can be convinced to allocate a large amount of memory.
    (CVE-2020-8037)

  • The SMB protocol decoder in tcpdump version 4.99.3 can perform an out-of-bounds write when decoding a crafted network packet. (CVE-2023-1801)

  • Due to a bug in packet data buffers management, the PPP printer in tcpdump can enter an infinite loop when reading a crafted DLT_PPP_SERIAL .pcap savefile. This problem does not affect any tcpdump release, but it affected the git master branch from 2023-06-05 to 2024-03-21. (CVE-2024-2397)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
