Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.50869
Category:	Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2001:056 (tcpdump)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to tcpdump announced via advisory MDKSA-2001:056. A number of remote buffer overflows were discovered in the tcpdump package that would allow a remote attack of the local tcpdump process. Intrusion detection using tcpdump would no longer be useful due to the attack stoping all network activity on the system. As well, this new version of tcpdump fixes the vulnerability with decoding AFS ACL packets which would allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code on the local system with root privilege. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 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-2001:056 http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/security/RPM-GPG-KEYS Risk factor : High
