CVE-2017-13052 (published 2017-09-14T06:29Z)

The CFM parser in tcpdump before 4.9.2 has a buffer over-read in print-cfm.c:cfm_print().

Severity: HIGH
CVSS v2 base score: 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P)
CVSS v3 base score: 9.8, CRITICAL (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)

Weakness information:
cwe_id: CWE-125
cwe_name: Out-of-bounds Read
description: The product reads data past the end, or before the beginning, of the intended buffer.

msg: CVE-2017-13052/CFM: refine decoding of the Sender ID TLV

In cfm_network_addr_print() add a length argument and use it to validate
the input buffer.

In cfm_print() add a length check for MAC address chassis ID. Supply
cfm_network_addr_print() with the length of its buffer and a correct
pointer to the buffer (it was off-by-one before). Change some error
handling blocks to skip to the next TLV in the current PDU rather than to
stop decoding the PDU. Print the management domain and address contents,
although in hex only so far.

Add some comments to clarify the code flow and to tell exact sections in
IEEE standard documents. Add new error messages and make some existing
messages more specific.

This fixes a buffer over-read discovered by Bhargava Shastry,
SecT/TU Berlin.

Add a test using the capture file supplied by the reporter(s).
