Fedora 28: 2019-8cdd669aca Critical: tcpflow Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey March 21, 2019
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora has released an update for tcpflow to resolve a significant security vulnerability; this upgrade corrects a critical buffer overflow flaw within the program.
Update tcpflow to 1.5.2 tag at github, fixing a security issue.

Summary

tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP

connections (flows), and stores the data in a way that is convenient

for protocol analysis or debugging. A program like 'tcpdump' shows a

summary of packets seen on the wire, but usually doesn't store the

data that's actually being transmitted. In contrast, tcpflow

reconstructs the actual data streams and stores each flow in a

separate file for later analysis.

Update tcpflow to 1.5.2 tag at github, fixing a security issue.
