Package : tcpdump
Vulnerability : denial of service
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0183 CAN-2004-0184
tcpdump, a tool for network monitoring and data acquisition, was
found to contain two vulnerabilities whereby tcpdump could be
caused to crash through attempts to read from invalid memory
locations. This bug is triggered by certain invalid ISAKMP
packets.
For the current stable distribution (woody) these problems have
been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.8.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been
fixed in version 3.7.2-4.
We recommend that you update your tcpdump package.
