 * effected versions:                                             *
 *  tcpdump: v3.8.x/v3.9.1/CVS (didn't check below 3.8.x)         *
 *  ethereal: v0.10.10 (appears to be fixed in 0.10.10 SVN>14167) *
 *                                                                *
 * tcpdump(v3.9.1 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial  *
 * of service vulnerability in the form of a single (RSVP) packet *
 * causing an infinite loop.                                      *
 *                                                                *
 * this bug also effects ethereal[v0.10.10] in a similar way, i   *
 * did not check ethereals source code to find out why, tcpdump   *
 * was the focus. (the packet usually must be clicked on, the     *
 * ICMP replies given back will cause it too)                     *
 *                                                                *
 * as this bug doesn't appear to be fixed in the new(3.9.x/CVS)   *
 * versions i'll elaborate on the problem.  the bug lies in       *
 * rsvp_print() in the RSVP_OBJ_ERO(and RSVP_OBJ_RRO) class,      *
 * allowing a zero length(+4 length really) situation, causing an *
 * infinite loop.                                                 *
 *                                                                *
 * some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
 * special command-line arguments to allow this to happen,        *
 * however most need the "-v" argument.                           *
