Detail
| "Vade 79" discovered that the BGP dissector in tcpdump, a powerful tool for network monitoring and data acquisition, does not properly handle RT_ROUTING_INFO. A specially crafted BGP packet can cause a denial of service via an infinite loop. For the old stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 3.6.2-2.9. For the stable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.3-4. For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 3.8.3-4. We recommend that you upgrade your tcpdump package. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 15864 | tcpdump LDP ldp_print() Function Malformed Packet DoS tcpdump contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to the ldp_print() function when handling Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) packets. By sending a malformed LDP packet, a remote attacker could cause the application to enter an infinite loop resulting in a loss of availability. |
| 15863 | tcpdump BGP RT_ROUTING_INFO Malformed Packet DoS tcpdump contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when handling Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) packets. By sending a malformed BGP packet, a remote attacker could cause the application to enter an infinite loop resulting in a loss of availability. |
