Ubuntu Security Notice USN-429-1             March 06, 2007
tcpdump vulnerability
CVE-2007-1218
===========================================================

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
Ubuntu 6.10

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
  tcpdump                                  3.9.1-1ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
  tcpdump                                  3.9.4-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 6.10:
  tcpdump                                  3.9.4-4ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the
necessary changes.

Details follow:

Moritz Jodeit discovered that tcpdump had an overflow in the 802.11 
packet parser.  Remote attackers could send specially crafted packets, 
crashing tcpdump, possibly leading to a denial of service.
