Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0084

Package name: tcpdump
Summary: Incorrect bounds checking
Date: 2002-12-19
Affected versions: TSL 1.1, 1.2, 1.5

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package description:
Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.
Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular
network interface or on all interfaces. Tcpdump can display all of
the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular criteria.


Problem description:
Tcpdump tries to decode packages it sees on the network to provide
some information to the user. In the decoding of BGP packages, it
failed to do proper bounds checking. The impact is not known, but
it could at least be used to crash tcpdump. This is fixed in the
3.7.1 release of tcpdump.

In addition, we have upgraded libpcap and arpwatch to resolve
dependencies.


Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be upgraded.
Please note that if you do not need the functionality provided by this
