CVE-2004-0183 describes a denial-of-service vulnerability in TCPDUMP versions 3.8.1 and earlier. Remote attackers can crash the software by sending specially crafted ISAKMP packets containing a Delete payload with an excessive number of Security Parameter Indexes (SPIs), leading to an out-of-bounds read. This vulnerability carries a CVSS score of 5.0, indicating a medium severity. It is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity and requires no authentication, but its impact is limited to availability (denial of service). There is no evidence of active exploitation, and no public exploit code is available in Metasploit, Nuclei, or ExploitDB. Community discussion and media coverage for this CVE are minimal, suggesting it has not garnered significant attention.
