This could be abused by a remote attacker to bypass tcpdump analysis of network traffic. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 3.8.3-3ubuntu0.1 (for Ubuntu 4.10), or 3.8.3-3ubuntu0.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-119-1 Risk factor : Medium
