Category:	Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2002:491
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2002:491. Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. David Woodhouse discovered[1] a buffer overflow vulnerability in tcpdump when it is parsing NFS traffic. A remote attacker could exploit this to at least crash the tcpdump process. Even though arpwatch and libpcap are not affected by this vulnerability, new packages for them are being provided for Conectiva Linux 6.0 and 7.0 since they are generated together with tcpdump from the same SRPM package. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=55145 http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2002:491 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002002 Risk factor : High
