MDKSA-2001:056: tcpdump |

Check for the version of the tcpdump package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory MDKSA-2001:056 (tcpdump). A number of remote buffer overflows were discovered in the tcpdump package that would permit a remote attack of the local tcpdump process. Intrusion detection using tcpdump would no longer be useful due to the attack stoping all network activity on the system. As well, this new version of tcpdump fixes the vulnerability with decoding AFS ACL packets which would permit a remote attacker to run arbitrary code on the local system with root privilege.
