Product: AIX family
Software version: 7.1, 7.2
Operating system(s): AIX
Reference #: 0873086
Security Bulletin
Summary
There is a vulnerability in tcpdump that affects AIX.
Vulnerability Details
CVEID: CVE-2018-19519
DESCRIPTION: Tcpdump is vulnerable to a stack-based buffer overflow, caused by
improper bounds checking by the print_prefix function of print-hncp.c. By using
a specially-crafted packet data, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and
execute arbitrary code on the system or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 7.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/
153314 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L)
Affected Products and Versions
AIX 7.1, 7.2
VIOS 2.2.x
The following fileset levels are vulnerable:

B. FIXES
AIX fixes are available.
The AIX fixes can be downloaded via ftp or http from:
ftp://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/tcpdump_fix4.tar
http://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/tcpdump_fix4.tar
https://aix.software.ibm.com/aix/efixes/security/tcpdump_fix4.tar
The link above is to a tar file containing this signed advisory, fix packages,
and OpenSSL signatures for each package. The fixes below include prerequisite
checking. This will enforce the correct mapping between the fixes and AIX
Technology Levels.
AIX Level Interim Fix (*.Z) KEY
- ----------------------------------------------
7.1.4.7 IJ12979m7a.190205.epkg.Z key_w_fix

7.2.3.2 IJ12983m2a.190215.epkg.Z key_w_fix
Please note that the above table refers to AIX TL/SP level as opposed to
fileset level, i.e., 7.2.2.3 is AIX 7200-02-03. Please reference the Affected
Products and Version section above for help with checking installed fileset
levels.
VIOS Level Interim Fix (*.Z) KEY
- -----------------------------------------------
2.2.5.40 IJ12978s9a.190215.epkg.Z key_w_fix
2.2.5.50 IJ12978s9a.190215.epkg.Z key_w_fix

3.1.0.10 IJ12983m2a.190215.epkg.Z key_w_fix
To extract the fixes from the tar file:
tar xvf tcpdump_fix4.tar
cd tcpdump_fix4
Verify you have retrieved the fixes intact:

These sums should match exactly. The OpenSSL signatures in the tar file and on
this advisory can also be used to verify the integrity of the fixes. If the
sums or signatures cannot be confirmed, contact IBM Support at http://ibm.com/
support/ and describe the discrepancy.

C. FIX AND INTERIM FIX INSTALLATION
If possible, it is recommended that a mksysb backup of the system be created.
Verify it is both bootable and readable before proceeding.
To preview a fix installation:
installp -a -d fix_name -p all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being previewed.
To install a fix package:
installp -a -d fix_name -X all # where fix_name is the name of the
# fix package being installed.
Interim fixes have had limited functional and regression testing but not the
full regression testing that takes place for Service Packs; however, IBM does
fully support them. Interim fix management documentation can be found at:
http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/aix.efixmgmt/home.html
To preview an interim fix installation:
emgr -e ipkg_name -p # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being previewed.
To install an interim fix package:
emgr -e ipkg_name -X # where ipkg_name is the name of the
# interim fix package being installed.
Workarounds and Mitigations
None.
