-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 425-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Matt Zimmerman January 16th, 2004 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tcpdump Vulnerability : multiple vulnerabilities Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Ids : CAN-2003-1029 CAN-2003-0989 CAN-2004-0055 CAN-2004-0057 Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in tcpdump, a tool for inspecting network traffic. If a vulnerable version of tcpdump attempted to examine a maliciously constructed packet, a number of buffer overflows could be exploited to crash tcpdump, or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the tcpdump process. CAN-2003-1029 - infinite loop and memory consumption in processing L2TP packets CAN-2003-0989, CAN-2004-0057 - infinite loops in processing ISAKMP packets. CAN-2004-0055 - segmentation fault caused by a RADIUS attribute with a large length value For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.7. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you update your tcpdump package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
