DSA-425-1 tcpdump Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment 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 rights of the tcpdump process. 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.
