Description Adir Abraham 2005-06-09 10:08:52 UTC

According to SecurityFocus.com:

tcpdump is prone to a vulnerability that may allow a remote attacker to cause a
denial of service condition in the software. The issue occurs due to the way
tcpdump decodes Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packets. A remote attacker may
cause the software to enter an infinite loop by sending malformed ISIS packets
resulting in the software hanging.

Vulnerable:
LBL tcpdump 3.9.1
LBL tcpdump 3.9
LBL tcpdump 3.8.3 

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
