(tcpdump: Integer overflow)

    mu-b from Digital Labs discovered that the return value of a snprintf()
    call is not properly checked before being used. This could lead to an
    integer overflow.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could send specially crafted BGP packets on a network
    being monitored with tcpdump, possibly resulting in the execution of
    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running tcpdump, which
    is usually root.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
