Description Josh Bressers 2007-07-31 16:00:18 UTC 
An integer overflow flaw was found in tcpdump's BGP protocol dissector.  This
could potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the user
running tcpdump.


The upstream patch is here:
http://cvs.tcpdump.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/tcpdump/print-bgp.c?r1=1.91.2.11&r2=1.91.2.12

Comment 2 Josh Bressers 2007-07-31 17:03:20 UTC 
This flaw does not affect the version of tcpdump shipped in Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 2.1 or 3.
