Vulnerability Insight:
A problem has been discovered in tcpdump, a powerful tool for network
monitoring and data acquisition. An attacker is able to send a
specially crafted RADIUS network packet which causes tcpdump to enter
an infinite loop.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 3.6.2-2.4.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not seem to be affected
by this problem.

The unstable distribution (sid) is not affected by this problem anymore.

Solution:
We recommend that you upgrade your tcpdump package.
