Package name tcpdump
Date June 15th, 2005
Advisory ID MDKSA-2005:101
Affected versions 10.1, 10.2

Problem Description

A Denial of Service vulnerability was found in tcpdump during the
processing of certain network packages. Because of this flaw, it was
possible for an attacker to inject a carefully crafted packet onto the
network which would crash a running tcpdump session.

The updated packages have been patched to correct this problem. This
problem does not affect at least tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier.
