                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           tcpdump
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:032
Date:                   May 16th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, Corporate Server 1.0.1
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Several buffer overflows were found in the tcpdump package by FreeBSD
 developers during a code audit, in versions prior to 3.5.  However, 
 newer versions of tcpdump, including 3.6.2, are also vulnerable to
 another buffer overflow in the AFS RPC decoding functions, which was
 discovered by Nick Cleaton.  These vulnerabilities could be used by
 a remote attacker to crash the the tcpdump process or possibly even
 be exploited to execute arbitrary code as the user running tcpdump,
 which is usually root.

 The newer libpcap 0.6 has also been audited to make it more safe by
 implementing better buffer boundary checks in several functions.
