NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tcpdump package and not the tcpdump package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The osi_print_cksum function in print-isoclns.c in the ethernet printer in tcpdump before 4.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and crash) via a crafted (1) length, (2) offset, or (3) base pointer checksum value.
