Package name tcpdump
Date January 26th, 2004
Advisory ID MDKSA-2004:008
Affected versions 9.1, 9.2, MNF8.2, CS2.1

Problem Description

A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in tcpdump versions prior
to 3.8.1 that, if fed a maliciously crafted packet, could be exploited
to crash tcpdump or potentially execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running tcpdump. These vulnerabilities include:

An infinite loop and memory consumption processing L2TP packets
(CAN-2003-1029).

Infinite loops in processing ISAKMP packets (CAN-2003-0989,
CAN-2004-0057).

A segmentation fault caused by a RADIUS attribute with a large length
value (CAN-2004-0055).

The updated packages are patched to correct these problem.
