Subject:                UnixWare 7.1.3up : tcpdump several vulnerabilities in 
tcpdump.
Advisory number:        SCOSA-2004.9
Issue date:             2004 July 28
Cross reference:        sr889195 fz528784 erg712544

                        CERT Vulnerability Note VU#174086

1. Problem Description

        tcpdump is a widely-used network sniffer. 

        The issues with tcpdump are present only on UnixWare 7.1.3up and 
        not on previous versions of UnixWare 7.1.3 or earlier including
        Open Unix 8.0.0, because the version of tcpdump UnixWare 7.1.3 
        and before is 3.4a5 and it doesn't contain these issues.

        Remote  attackers  could  potentially  exploit  these 
        vulnerabilities by sending carefully-crafted network packets 
        to a victim. If the victim is running tcpdump, these packets    
        could result in a denial of service, or possibly execute 
        arbitrary code. 

        Jonathan Heusser discovered a flaw in the print_attr_string 
        function in the RADIUS decoding routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 
        and earlier. The CERT Coordination Center has assigned the 
        following  Vulnerability  Note  VU#955526.   The  Common 
        Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has 
        assigned the following name CAN-2004-0055 to this issue. 

        Jonathan Heusser discovered an additional flaw in the ISAKMP 
        decoding routines for tcpdump 3.8.1 and earlier. The CERT 
        Coordination Center has assigned the following Vulnerability 
        Note VU#174086.  The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures 
        project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the following name 
        CAN-2004-0057 to this issue.

        George Bakos discovered flaws in the ISAKMP decoding routines
        of tcpdump versions prior to 3.8.1. The CERT Coordination
        Center has assigned the following Vulnerability Note
        VU#738518. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project
        (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the following name CAN-2003-0989
        to this issue.
