Package name tcpdump
Date March 8th, 2007
Advisory ID MDKSA-2007:056
Affected versions CS3.0, 2006.0, 2007.0, CS4.0
Synopsis Updated tcpdump packages address off-by-one overflow

Problem Description

Off-by-one buffer overflow in the parse_elements function in the 802.11
printer code (print-802_11.c) for tcpdump 3.9.5 and earlier allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
802.11 frame. NOTE: this was originally referred to as heap-based, but
it might be stack-based.

Updated packages have been patched to address this issue.
