Fedora Legacy Update Advisory
Synopsis: Updated tcpdump resolves security vulnerability
Advisory ID: FLSA:1222
Issue date: 2004-01-31
Product: Red Hat Linux
Keywords: Security
Cross references: https://bugzilla.fedora.us/show_bug.cgi?id=3D1222
CVE Names: CAN-2003-0989, CAN-2004-0055, CAN-2004-0057
=2D -----------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated tcpdump packages are now available that fix multiple security=20
vulnerabilities which may allow remote attackers to exploit these issues=20
by sending carefully-crafted packets to a victim. If the victim uses=20
tcpdump, these packets could result in a denial of service, or possibly=20
execute arbitrary code as the 'pcap' user.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
3. Problem description:
Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. Tcpdump can=
=20
capture and display the packet headers on a particular network interface=20
or on all interfaces. Tcpdump can display all of the packet headers, or=20
just the ones that match particular criteria.
George Bakos discovered flaws in the ISAKMP decoding routines of tcpdump=20
versions prior to 3.8.1. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project=20
(cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0989 to this issue.
Jonathan Heusser discovered an additional flaw in the ISAKMP decoding=20
routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier. The Common Vulnerabilities and=20
Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0057 to=20
this issue.
Jonathan Heusser discovered a flaw in the print_attr_string function in the=
=20
RADIUS decoding routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier. The Common=20
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the=20
name CAN-2004-0055 to this issue.
Users of tcpdump should update to these update packages, which contain a=20
backported security patch that corrects this issue.
=46edora Legacy would like to thank George Bakos and Jonathan Heusser for=20
discovering and disclosing these issues, as well as Christian Pearce for=20
providing a backported fix for Red Hat Linux 7.2, 7.3, and 8.0.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata=20
relevant to your system have been applied.
To update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:
rpm -Fvh [filenames]
where [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those=20
RPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are=20
not installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you=
=20
can also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains=20
the desired RPMs.
Please note that this update is also available via yum and apt. Many=20
people find this an easier way to apply updates. To use yum issue:
yum update
or to use apt:
apt-get update; apt-get upgrade
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate=
=20
RPMs being upgraded on your system. This assumes that you have yum or=20
apt-get configured for obtaining Fedora Legacy content. Please visit=20
http://www.fedoralegacy.org/download for directions on how to configure=20
yum and apt-get.
