Category:Red Hat Local Security Checks
Title:RedHat Security Advisory RHSA-2003:085
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2003:085.

Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.

The ISAKMP parser in tcpdump 3.6 through 3.7.1 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a certain malformed ISAKMP
packet to UDP port 500, which causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop.

Users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which
contain a patch to correct this issue.

Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
