Debian Security Advisory DSA-206-1 security (at) debian (dot) org [email concealed]
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
December 10, 2002
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : tcpdump
Problem type : incorrect bounds checking
Debian-specific: no

The BGP decoding routines for tcpdump used incorrect bounds checking
when copying data. This could be abused by introducing malicious traffic
on a sniffed network for a denial of service attack against tcpdump,
or possibly even remote code execution.

This has been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.2.

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
