(i made a second message for this because it also effects ethereal,
both tcpdump and ethereal are patched in the current cvs/svn versions)
(tcpdump) workaround:
# tcpdump ip proto not rsvp
original DOS exploit reference:
http://fakehalo.us/xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c
---------------- exploit: xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c ----------------
/*[ tcpdump(/ethereal)[]: (RSVP) rsvp_print() infinite loop DOS. ]*
* *
* by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.us (fakehalo/realhalo) *
* *
* compile: *
* gcc xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos.c -o xtcpdump+ethr-rsvp-dos *
* *
* tcpdump homepage/URL: *
* http://www.tcpdump.org *
* *
* ethereal homepage/URL: *
* http://www.ethereal.com *
* *
* effected versions: *
* tcpdump: v3.8.x/v3.9.1/CVS (didn't check below 3.8.x) *
* ethereal: v0.10.10 (appears to be fixed in 0.10.10 SVN>14167) *
* *
* tcpdump(v3.9.1 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial *
* of service vulnerability in the form of a single (RSVP) packet *
* causing an infinite loop. *
* *
* this bug also effects ethereal[v0.10.10] in a similar way, i *
* did not check ethereals source code to find out why, tcpdump *
* was the focus. (the packet usually must be clicked on, the *
* ICMP replies given back will cause it too) *
* *
* as this bug doesn't appear to be fixed in the new(3.9.x/CVS) *
* versions i'll elaborate on the problem. the bug lies in *
* rsvp_print() in the RSVP_OBJ_ERO(and RSVP_OBJ_RRO) class, *
* allowing a zero length(+4 length really) situation, causing an *
* infinite loop. *
* *
* some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
* special command-line arguments to allow this to happen, *
* however most need the "-v" argument. *
