NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRAKE_MDKSA-2003-052.NASL description An integer overflow was discovered in the Snort stream4 preprocessor by the Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team. This preprocessor (spp_stream4) incorrectly calculates segment size parameters during stream reassembly for certainm sequence number ranges. This can lead to an integer overflow that can in turn lead to a heap overflow that can be exploited to perform a denial of service (DoS) or even remote command excution on the host running Snort. Disabling the stream4 preprocessor will make Snort invulnerable to this attack, and the flaw has been fixed upstream in Snort version 2.0. Snort versions 1.8 through 1.9.1 are vulnerable. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 14036 published 2004-07-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2004-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/14036 title Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : snort (MDKSA-2003:052) code #%NASL_MIN_LEVEL 80502 # # (C) Tenable Network Security, Inc. # # The descriptive text and package checks in this plugin were # extracted from Mandrake Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2003:052. # The text itself is copyright (C) Mandriva S.A. # include("compat.inc"); if (description) { script_id(14036); script_version ("1.23"); script_cvs_date("Date: 2019/08/02 13:32:46"); script_cve_id("CVE-2003-0209"); script_xref(name:"MDKSA", value:"2003:052"); script_name(english:"Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : snort (MDKSA-2003:052)"); script_summary(english:"Checks rpm output for the updated packages"); script_set_attribute( attribute:"synopsis", value: "The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates." ); script_set_attribute( attribute:"description", value: "An integer overflow was discovered in the Snort stream4 preprocessor by the Sourcefire Vulnerability Research Team.
