Remediation
Fix status not established
No structured fix or guidance is available here. Check the latest publisher advisory.
What this means
FastNetMon versions 1.2.9 and earlier have an out-of-bounds read weakness due to missing bounds checking in the parse_packet() function, potentially causing process termination. An attacker with access to the network can trigger this issue by sending a short frame or manipulating the IPv4 header length. The impact is process termination.

Read the full publisher description
FastNetMon is a high-performance DDoS detector and sensor. In version 1.2.9 and earlier, the live parse_packet() callback in src/pcap_plugin/pcap_collector.cpp is registered through pcap_loop and processes captured frames when pcap = on without checking packethdr->caplen. A short frame or an attacker-controlled IPv4 header length can make the parser dereference IP or transport headers beyond the captured bytes, causing an out-of-bounds read and process termination. No fixed release is available as of this review.
