"A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in tcpdump versions prior
to 3.8.1 that, if fed a maliciously crafted packet, could be exploited
to crash tcpdump or potentially execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running tcpdump. These vulnerabilities
include :
An infinite loop and memory consumption processing L2TP packets
(CVE-2003-1029).
Infinite loops in processing ISAKMP packets (CVE-2003-0989,
CVE-2004-0057).
A segmentation fault caused by a RADIUS attribute with a large length
value (CVE-2004-0055).
The updated packages are patched to correct these problem."
