Description:   Opened: 2003-02-27 16:59 0000
From the advisory:
=======================================================

A vulnerability exists in the parsing of ISAKMP packets (UDP port 500)
that allows an attacker to force TCPDUMP into an infinite loop upon
receipt of a specially crafted packet. 

Solution:

This vulnerability was already closed by Guy Harris during routine
development; users of the CVS version downloaded since September 6, 2002
(revision 1.34 of print-isakmp.c) are not vulerable.  The new 3.7.2
tcpdump release includes this and a couple of additional security
fixes; the 0.7.2 libpcap release includes new functionality but no
security fixes.

The following packages are available:

http://www.tcpdump.org/release/tcpdump-3.7.2.tar.gz
http://www.tcpdump.org/release/libpcap-0.7.2.tar.gz


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
