CVE-2004-0184 describes an integer underflow vulnerability in TCPDUMP versions 3.8.1 and earlier. This flaw, specifically within the isakmp_id_print function, can be triggered by remote attackers sending a specially crafted ISAKMP packet. The vulnerability allows for a denial of service (crash) due to an out-of-bounds read, as demonstrated by the Striker ISAKMP Protocol Test Suite. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity. It is easily exploitable over the network (AV:N/AC:L) without authentication (Au:N), leading to a partial impact on availability (A:P). While not listed on the KEV catalog, an exploit (EDB-171) is publicly available, and its FAUCET Risk Score is high at 98/100. Despite the public exploit, there is no evidence of active exploitation, and it has received minimal community discussion or media coverage.
