EUVDB-ID: #VU10765

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-7418

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

2) Buffer over-read

EUVDB-ID: #VU13034

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-11362

CWE-ID: CWE-126 - Buffer over-read

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists in epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c due to buffer over-read upon encountering a missing '' character. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince someone to read a malformed packet trace file, trigger memory corruption and cause the LDSS dissector to crash.
