Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2004-0015
Package name: tcpdump, libpcap
Summary: New upstream
Date: 2004-03-30
Affected versions: Trustix 1.5 2.0 2.1
Package description:
Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.
Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular
network interface or on all interfaces. Tcpdump can display all of
the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular
criteria.
Libpcap provides a portable framework for low-level network
monitoring. Libpcap can provide network statistics collection,
security monitoring and network debugging. Since almost every
system vendor provides a different interface for packet capture,
the libpcap authors created this system-independent API to ease in
porting and to alleviate the need for several system-dependent
packet capture modules in each application.Install libpcap if you
need to do low-level network traffic monitoring on your network
Problem description:
The new upstream version of tcpdump fixes several bugs, some
security related. Amongst others: CAN-2004-0183 and
CAN-2004-0184
Action:
We recommend that all systems with this package installed be
