Detail

The BGP decoding routines for tcpdump used incorrect bounds checking when copying data. This could be abused by introducing malicious traffic on a sniffed network for a denial of service attack against tcpdump, or possibly even remote code execution.

This has been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.2.
