- Andrew Griffiths and iDEFENSE Labs discovered a problem in tcpdump, a
- powerful tool for network monitoring and data acquisition. An
- attacker is able to send a specially crafted network packet which
- causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop.
- In addition to the above problem the tcpdump developers discovered a
- potential infinite loop when parsing malformed BGP packets. They also
- discovered a buffer overflow that can be exploited with certain
- malformed NFS packets.
- For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been
- fixed in version 3.6.2-2.3.
- The old stable distribution (potato) does not seem to be affected
- by these problems.
- For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
- version 3.7.1-1.2.
- We recommend that you upgrade your tcpdump packages.
