    descriptionAndrew Griffiths and iDEFENSE Labs discovered a problem in tcpdump, a powerful tool for network monitoring and data acquisition. An attacker is able to send a specially crafted network packet which causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop. In addition to the above problem the tcpdump developers discovered a potential infinite loop when parsing malformed BGP packets. They also discovered a buffer overflow that can be exploited with certain malformed NFS packets.

    descriptionUpdated tcpdump, libpcap, and arpwatch packages are available. These updates close a buffer overflow when handling NFS packets. tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. Versions of tcpdump up to and including 3.6.2 have a buffer overflow that can be triggered when tracing the network by a bad NFS packet. We are not yet aware if this issue is fully exploitable; however, users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which contain a patch for this issue. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2002-0380 to this issue. This issue was found by David Woodhouse of Red Hat.
