| Description: | Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'tcpdump'
package(s) announced via the referenced advisory.
Vulnerability Insight:
The tcpdump packages contain the tcpdump
utility for monitoring network traffic. The tcpdump utility can capture and
display the packet headers on a particular network interface or on all
interfaces. The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream
version: tcpdump (4.9.0). (BZ#1422473) Security Fix(es): * Multiple out of
bounds read and integer overflow vulnerabilities were found in tcpdump affecting
the decoding of various protocols. An attacker could create a crafted pcap file
or send specially crafted packets to the network segment where tcpdump is
running in live capture mode (without -w) which could cause it to display
incorrect data, crash or enter an infinite loop. (CVE-2015-0261, CVE-2015-2153,
