A buffer overflow has been found in tcpdump which can be triggered while displaying BGP packets. This could be exploited by an attacker to execute malicious code under the privileges of the user running tcpdump by presenting specially prepared BGP packets to tcpdump. This issue is tracked by CVE-2007-3798.
