Synopsis

The remote Fedora host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Fedora 39 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the FEDORA-2024-ec1fba69c2 advisory.

 - Within tcpreplay's tcprewrite, a double free vulnerability has been identified in the tcpedit_dlt_cleanup() function within plugins/dlt_plugins.c. This vulnerability can be exploited by supplying a specifically crafted file to the tcprewrite binary. This flaw enables a local attacker to initiate a Denial of Service (DoS) attack. (CVE-2023-4256)

 - Null Pointer Dereference in mask_cidr6 component at cidr.c in Tcpreplay 4.4.4 allows attackers to crash the application via crafted tcprewrite command. (CVE-2023-43279)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected tcpreplay package.
