[SECURITY] Fedora Core 1 Update: tcpdump-3.7.2-7.fc1.1

--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2004-090 2004-03-02 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : tcpdump Version : 3.7.2 Release : 7.fc1.1 Summary : A network traffic monitoring tool. Description : Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular network interface or on all interfaces. Tcpdump can display all of the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular criteria. Install tcpdump if you need a program to monitor network traffic. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: Updated tcpdump, libpcap, and arpwatch packages fix vulnerabilities in ISAKMP and RADIUS parsing. Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. George Bakos discovered flaws in the ISAKMP decoding routines of tcpdump versions prior to 3.8.1. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0989 to this issue. Jonathan Heusser discovered an additional flaw in the ISAKMP decoding routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0057 to this issue. Jonathan Heusser discovered a flaw in the print_attr_string function in the RADIUS decoding routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0055 to this issue. Remote attackers could potentially exploit these issues by sending carefully-crafted packets to a victim. If the victim uses tcpdump, these pakets could result in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code as the 'pcap' user. Users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain backported security patches and are not vulnerable to these issues. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/updates/1/ 7dc3b86d8ed719068c9758d10f89c1a8 SRPMS/tcpdump-3.7.2-7.fc1.1.src.rpm 32542a5c04f6ef98a0c5bbb9d994eb65 i386/tcpdump-3.7.2-7.fc1.1.i386.rpm 3245ae55e53296a83490768b9fd682dc i386/libpcap-0.7.2-7.fc1.1.i386.rpm 1b313ff0bcd98aa579ce94a0e9b69194 i386/arpwatch-2.1a11-7.fc1.1.i386.rpm ed4460a118b6552d1a893d71b3316759 i386/debug/tcpdump-debuginfo-3.7.2-7.fc1.1.i386.rpm This update can also be installed with the Update Agent; you can launch the Update Agent with the 'up2date' command. ---------------------------------------------------------------------
