CVE-2017-12992 (published 2017-09-14T06:29Z)

The RIPng parser in tcpdump before 4.9.2 has a buffer over-read in print-ripng.c:ripng_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-2017-12992/RIPng: Clean up bounds checking.

Do bounds checking as we access items.

Scan the list of netinfo6 entries based on the supplied packet length,
without taking the captured length into account; let the aforementioned
bounds checking handle that.

This fixes a buffer over-read discovered by Kamil Frankowicz.

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