Software Description: - tcpdump: command-line network traffic analyzer Details: It was discovered that tcpdump incorrectly handled printing certain packets. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause tcpdump to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. In the default installation, attackers would be isolated by the tcpdump AppArmor profile.
