Title:	RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:151
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory RHSA-2003:151. Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. A vulnerability exists in tcpdump before 3.7.2 and is related to an inability to handle unknown RADIUS attributes properly. This vulnerability allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop). The Red Hat tcpdump packages advertise that, by default, tcpdump will drop privileges to user 'pcap'. Due to a compilation error this did not happen, and tcpdump would run as root unless the '-U' flag was specified. Users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which contain a patch correcting the RADIUS issue and are compiled so that by default tcpdump will drop privileges to the 'pcap' user. Solution: Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-151.html http://www.tcpdump.org/tcpdump-changes.txt Risk factor : Medium CVSS Score: 5.0
