A flaw was found in tcpdump. Trying to print content from a maliciously crafted .pcap file may lead to an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service. This issue is considered low severity; for a successful attack to happen, a user must open a crafted file, and it will only crash a single user’s execution of tcpdump.
