CVE-2015-0261 tcpdump vulnerabilities
Title: tcpdump vulnerabilities
Summary: tcpdump could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.
It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing certain
packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash,
resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump
AppArmor profile.
Instructions: In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
