Tamarack MMSd components fail to properly handle malformed packets

Overview

Tamarack MMSd components do not properly handle malformed RFC 1006 packets. This vulnerability may allow a remote, unauthenticated attacker to cause a denial of service condition.

I. Description

ISO Transport Service over TCP (TPKT, RFC 1006)

RFC 1006 specifies how to run the OSI transport protocol on top of TCP/IP. In the layered protocol model, RFC 1006 is situated between the TCP and OSI transport layers.

II. Impact

A remote, unauthenticated attacker may be able to cause a denial of service condition on the device running Tamarack MMSd.
