Technical details
A heap-based buffer overrun exists in the Sniffer component's TDS (Tabular Data Stream) PRELOGIN packet decoder when processing specially crafted packets. An unauthenticated remote attacker on the network can trigger this vulnerability by sending a malformed packet, resulting in memory corruption that leads to denial of service or remote code execution on the Collector appliance with no user interaction required.
