Detail
| Problem Description: Updated tcpdump packages that fix several security issues are now available. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. These updated packages also add support for output files larger than 2 GB, add support for some new VLAN IDs, and fix message parsing on 64bit architectures. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. Several denial of service bugs were found in the way tcpdump processes certain network packets. It is possible for an attacker to inject a carefully crafted packet onto the network, crashing a running tcpdump session. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CAN-2005-1278, CAN-2005-1279, and CAN-2005-1280 to these issues. Additionally, the tcpdump utility can now write a file larger than 2 GB, parse some new VLAN IDs, and parse messages on 64bit architectures. Users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain backported security patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command: up2date For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5.

|---|---|
| 15904 | tcpdump Malformed RSVP Packet Remote DoS tcpdump contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a specially-crafted RSVP packet causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop and stop responding. This will result in loss of availability for the service. |
| 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. |
| 15862 | tcpdump ISIS isis_print() Function Malformed Packet DoS tcpdump contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to the isis_print() function when handling Intermediate-System to Intermediate-System (ISIS) packets. By sending a malformed ISIS packet, a remote attacker could cause the application to enter an infinite loop resulting in a loss of availability. |
