Description: mu-b has reported a vulnerability in tcpdump, which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to compromise a user's system.
The vulnerability is caused due to the incorrect use of the return value of "snprintf()" in print-bgp.c. This can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow by sending specially crafted BGP packets.
Successful exploitation may allow the execution of arbitrary code.
The vulnerability is reported in version 3.9.6. Other versions may also be affected.
