Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50807
Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:032 (tcpdump)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to tcpdump announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:032. Several buffer overflows were found in the tcpdump package by FreeBSD developers during a code audit, in versions prior to 3.5. However, newer versions of tcpdump, including 3.6.2, are also vulnerable to another buffer overflow in the AFS RPC decoding functions, which was discovered by Nick Cleaton. These vulnerabilities could be used by a remote attacker to crash the the tcpdump process or possibly even be exploited to execute arbitrary code as the user running tcpdump, which is usually root. The newer libpcap 0.6 has also been audited to make it more safe by implementing better buffer boundary checks in several functions. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1 Single Network Firewall 7.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2002:032 http://www.ciac.org/ciac/bulletins/l-015.shtml Risk factor : High
