It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2022-27940 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Broadcom Tcpreplay. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27940/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27940/index.md)","id":"CVE-2022-27940","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27940/index.md","name":"CVE-2022-27940","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2022-27940","GHSA-f553-xh7g-ffm9"],"analysis":{"component_type":"developer_tool","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["denial_of_service","data_read"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Network packet tool","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-based buffer over-read in Tcpreplay allows attackers to cause denial of service or disclose sensitive memory contents via crafted IPv6 packets.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"tcpreplay","vendor":"broadcom"},{"product":"fedora","vendor":"fedoraproject"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"tcprewrite in Tcpreplay 4.4.1 has a heap-based buffer over-read in get_ipv6_next in common/get.c.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-27940","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"broadcom:tcpreplay","products":["broadcom:tcpreplay","fedoraproject:fedora"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2022"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":5,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-27941"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-27939"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2022-03-26","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2018-18408","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2018-10-17"},{"cvss_score":9.1,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2020-12740","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2020-05-08"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2025-51006","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-09-22"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-37047","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-37048","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-37049","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-08-18"},{"cvss_score":7.8,"headline":"Use after free in n/a","id":"CVE-2022-27416","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2022-04-12"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-03","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A heap-based buffer over-read in Tcpreplay allows attackers to cause denial of service or disclose sensitive memory contents via crafted IPv6 packets.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2022-27940/"}
