NVD Description

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

The rpki_rtr_pdu_print function in print-rpki-rtr.c in the TCP printer in tcpdump before 4.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) via a crafted header length in an RPKI-RTR Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
