nfdump 1.6.17 and earlier is affected by an integer overflow in the function Process_ipfix_template_withdraw in ipfix.c that can be abused in order to crash the process remotely (denial of service).

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - nfdump 1.6.17 and earlier is affected by an integer overflow in the function     Process_ipfix_template_withdraw in ipfix.c that can be abused in order to crash the process remotely     (denial of service). (CVE-2019-14459)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - nfdump 1.6.17 and earlier is affected by an integer overflow in the function
    Process_ipfix_template_withdraw in ipfix.c that can be abused in order to crash the process remotely
    (denial of service). (CVE-2019-14459)

  - nfdump 1.6.16 and earlier is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: The impact could range from a
    denial of service to local code execution. The component is: nfx.c:546, nffile_inline.c:83, minilzo.c
    (redistributed). The attack vector is: nfdump must read and process a specially crafted file. The fixed
    version is: after commit 9f0fe9563366f62a71d34c92229da3432ec5cf0e. (CVE-2019-1010057)

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

  - nfdump 1.6.17 and earlier is affected by an integer overflow in the function
    Process_ipfix_template_withdraw in ipfix.c that can be abused in order to crash the process remotely
    (denial of service). (CVE-2019-14459)

Two issues have been found in nfdump, a netflow capture daemon. Both issues are related to either a buffer overflow or an integer overflow, which could result in a denial of service or a local code execution.

For Debian 9 stretch, these problems have been fixed in version 1.6.15-3+deb9u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your nfdump packages.
