-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA 261-1 security@debian.org http://www.debian.org/security/ Martin Schulze March 14th, 2003 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tcpdump Vulnerability : infinite loop Problem-Type : remote Debian-specific: no CVE Id : CAN-2003-0093 A problem has been discovered in tcpdump, a powerful tool for network monitoring and data acquisition. An attacker is able to send a specially crafted RADIUS network packet which causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop. For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.4. The old stable distribution (potato) does not seem to be affected by this problem. The unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by this problem anymore. We recommend that you upgrade your tcpdump package. Upgrade Instructions - -------------------- wget url will fetch the file for you dpkg -i file.deb will install the referenced file. If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for sources.list as given below: apt-get update will update the internal database apt-get upgrade will install corrected packages You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the footer to the proper configuration.
