NVD Description

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

The ip_evictor function in ip_fragment.c in libnids before 1.24, as used in dsniff and possibly other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via crafted fragmented packets.
