It was discovered that an integer overflow in the BGP dissector of tcpdump,
a powerful tool for network monitoring and data acquisition, may lead to
the execution of arbitrary code.
For the oldstable distribution (sarge) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.8.3-5sarge3.
For the stable distribution (etch) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.9.5-2etch1.
For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 3.9.5-3.
We recommend that you upgrade your tcpdump package.
