"A number of remote buffer overflows were discovered in the tcpdump
package that would allow a remote attack of the local tcpdump process.
Intrusion detection using tcpdump would no longer be useful due to the
attack stoping all network activity on the system. As well, this new
version of tcpdump fixes the vulnerability with decoding AFS ACL
packets which would allow a remote attacker to run arbitrary code on
the local system with root privilege."
