The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2018-16738 Michael Yonli discovered a flaw in the implementation of the authentication protocol that could allow a remote attacker to establish an authenticated, one-way connection with another node. CVE-2018-16758 Michael Yonli discovered that a man-in-the-middle that has intercepted a TCP connection might be able to disable encryption of UDP packets sent by a node. For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1.0.31-1+deb9u1. We recommend that you upgrade your tinc packages.

Debian: DSA-2663-1 Critical: Tinc Stack Overflow Remote Execution

Martin Schobert discovered a stack-based vulnerability in tinc, a virtual private network daemon. When packets are forwarded via TCP, packet length is not checked against . -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2663-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. http://www.debian.org/security/ Yves-Alexis Perez April 22, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tinc Vulnerability : stack based buffer overflow Problem type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-1428 Martin Schobert discovered a stack-based vulnerability in tinc, a virtual private network daemon. When packets are forwarded via TCP, packet length is not checked against the stack buffer length. Authenticated peers could use this to crash the tinc daemon and maybe execute arbitrary code. Note that on Wheezy and Sid, tinc is built using hardening flags and especially stack smashing protection, which should help protect against arbitrary code execution. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.13-1+squeeze1. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.19-3. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.19-3. We recommend that you upgrade your tinc packages.
