+ <title>TCPDump: Decoding routines Denial of Service vulnerability</title>

+ A flaw in the decoding of network packets renders TCPDump vulnerable to a

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ TCPDump improperly handles and decodes ISIS (CAN-2005-1278), BGP
+ (CAN-2005-1267, CAN-2005-1279), LDP (CAN-2005-1279) and RSVP
+ (CAN-2005-1280) packets. TCPDump might loop endlessly after receiving
+ malformed packets.

+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A malicious remote attacker can exploit the decoding issues for a
+ Denial of Service attack by sending specially crafted packets, possibly
+ causing TCPDump to loop endlessly.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All TCPDump users should upgrade to the latest available version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.8.3-r3"</code>
