slackware
July 15, 2005
New tcpdump packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, 10.1, and -current to fix a security issue
Summary
Here are the details from the Slackware 10.1 ChangeLog: patches/packages/tcpdump-3.9.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to libpcap-0.9.3 and tcpdump-3.9.3. This fixes an issue where an invalid BGP packet can cause tcpdump to go into an infinate loop, effectively disabling network monitoring. (* Security fix *)
