Exploitation Summary

EIP tracks 1 public exploit for CVE-2025-51006. PoCs published by sy460129.

AI-analyzed exploit summary The repository describes a double free vulnerability in tcpreplay 4.5.1 but lacks actual exploit code, instead pointing to an external download for the PoC. The README provides technical details but relies on an off-site resource, which is a common tactic in suspicious repos.

Description

Within tcpreplay's tcprewrite, a double free vulnerability has been identified in the dlt_linuxsll2_cleanup() function in plugins/dlt_linuxsll2/linuxsll2.c. This vulnerability is triggered when tcpedit_dlt_cleanup() indirectly invokes the cleanup routine multiple times on the same memory region. By supplying a specifically crafted pcap file to the tcprewrite binary, a local attacker can exploit this flaw to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via memory corruption.
