NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream arpwatch package and not the arpwatch package as distributed by RHEL.

tcpdump 3.8 through 4.6.2 might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information from memory or cause a denial of service (packet loss or segmentation fault) via a crafted Ad hoc On-Demand Distance Vector (AODV) packet, which triggers an out-of-bounds memory access.
