Tcpreplay | v4.4.4
How the Exploit Works
The exploit takes advantage of an infinite loop vulnerability in the tcprewrite function of tcpreplay v4.4.4. This allows a remote attacker to effectively cause a Denial of Service (DoS) attack or potentially execute arbitrary code, leading to system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
The following is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited. Note that this is not actual exploit code, but a simplified representation.
# Bash command to send a malicious crafted packet causing infinite loop in tcpreplay v4.4.4
$ tcpreplay --intf1=eth0 malicious_packet.pcapIn this example, a maliciously crafted packet (malicious_packet.pcap) is sent to the tcpreplay tool. This packet triggers the infinite loop vulnerability in the tcprewrite function and could potentially lead to system compromise or data leakage.
We recommend applying the vendor patch as soon as possible or using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation. Stay informed and secure.
