medium Nessus Plugin ID 19209

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New tcpdump packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix a security issue. A specially crafted BGP packet can cause tcpdump to go into an infinite loop, creating a denial of service where network monitoring is disabled.

Solution

Update the affected tcpdump package.
