An issue was discovered in lldpd before 1.0.17. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds read on heap memory. This occurs in cdp_decode in daemon/protocols/cdp.c.

The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0256 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2020-27827:
    A flaw was found in multiple versions of OpenvSwitch. Specially crafted LLDP packets can cause memory to     be lost when allocating data to handle specific optional TLVs, potentially causing a denial of service.
    The highest threat from this vulnerability is to system availability.

    CVE-2021-43612:
    In lldpd before 1.0.13, when decoding SONMP packets in the sonmp_decode function, it's possible to trigger     an out-of-bounds heap read via short SONMP packets.

    CVE-2023-41910:
    An issue was discovered in lldpd before 1.0.17. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific     CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds     read on heap memory. This occurs in cdp_decode in daemon/protocols/cdp.c.

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

  - An issue was discovered in lldpd before 1.0.17. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific     CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds     read on heap memory. This occurs in cdp_decode in daemon/protocols/cdp.c. (CVE-2023-41910)

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

The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2024-9158 advisory.

    [1.0.18-3]
    - Add lldpd-devel package [RHEL-22127]

    [1.0.18-2]
    - Remove networkd gating test [RHEL-25990]

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:9158 advisory.

    LLDP is an industry standard protocol designed to supplant proprietary Link-Layer protocols such as EDP or     CDP. The goal of LLDP is to provide an inter-vendor compatible mechanism to deliver Link-Layer     notifications to adjacent network devices.

    Security Fix(es):

    * lldp/openvswitch: denial of service via externally triggered memory leak (CVE-2020-27827)

    * lldpd: out-of-bounds read when decoding SONMP packets (CVE-2021-43612)

    * lldpd: CDP PDU Packet cdp.c out-of-bounds read (CVE-2023-41910)

The version of lldpd installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2023-41910 advisory.

  - An issue was discovered in lldpd before 1.0.17. By crafting a CDP PDU packet with specific     CDP_TLV_ADDRESSES TLVs, a malicious actor can remotely force the lldpd daemon to perform an out-of-bounds     read on heap memory. This occurs in cdp_decode in daemon/protocols/cdp.c. (CVE-2023-41910)

The remote Debian 11 / 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5505 advisory.

    Matteo Memelli reported an out-of-bounds read flaw when parsing CDP addresses in lldpd, an implementation     of the IEEE 802.1ab (LLDP) protocol. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to cause a denial     of service via a specially crafted CDP PDU packet. For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), this problem     has been fixed in version 1.0.11-1+deb11u2. For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been     fixed in version 1.0.16-1+deb12u1. We recommend that you upgrade your lldpd packages.
