"The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the
AXSA:2008-528:01 advisory.

    Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.
    Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular network interface or on all interfaces.
    Tcpdump can display all of the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular criteria.
    Off-by-one buffer overflow in the parse_elements function in the 802.11 printer code (print-802_11.c) for
    tcpdump 3.9.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted
    802.11 frame. NOTE: this was originally referred to as heap-based, but it might be stack-based.
    (CVE-2007-1218)
    Integer overflow in print-bgp.c in the BGP dissector in tcpdump 3.9.6 and earlier allows remote attackers
    to execute arbitrary code via crafted TLVs in a BGP packet, related to an unchecked return value.
    (CVE-2007-3798)
    In addition, the following bugs have been addressed:
    * The arpwatch service initialization script would exit prematurely, returning an incorrect successful
    exit status and preventing the status command from running in case networking is not available.
    * Tcpdump would not drop root privileges completely when launched with the -C option. This might have been
    abused by an attacker to gain root privileges in case a security problem was found in tcpdump. Users of
    tcpdump are encouraged to specify meaningful arguments to the -Z option in case they want tcpdump to write
    files with privileges other than of the pcap user.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
