Description:
Simon L. Nielsen has reported a vulnerability in tcpdump, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the function "bgp_update_print()" in "print-bgp.c". This can be exploited to cause tcpdump to enter an infinite loop via a specially crafted BGP packet.
The vulnerability has been reported in version 3.8.x. Other versions may also be affected.
