Subject: [SECURITY] New version of tcpdump released
Debian Security Advisory security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Wichert Akkerman
November 20, 2000
Package: tcpdump
Vulnerability: remote exploit
Debian-specific: no
During internal source code auditing by FreeBSD several buffer
overflows were found which allow an attacker to make tcpdump crash
by sending carefully crafted packets to a network that is being
monitored with tcpdump.
This has been fixed in version 3.4a6-4.2.
