Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54246
Category:Trustix Local Security Checks
Title:Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2002-0084 (tcpdump)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2002-0084.

Tcpdump tries to decode packages it sees on the network to provide
some information to the user. In the decoding of BGP packages, it
failed to do proper bounds checking. The impact is not known, but
it could at least be used to crash tcpdump. This is fixed in the
3.7.1 release of tcpdump.

In addition, we have upgraded libpcap and arpwatch to resolve
dependencies.


Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
