[sec-adv] Red Hat update for tcpdump

From: Secunia Security Advisories (sec-advsecunia.com)
Date: Tue May 20 2003 - 09:21:38 CDT

TITLE:
Red Hat update for tcpdump

READ ONLINE:
http://www.secunia.com/advisories/8813/

CRITICAL:
Not critical

IMPACT:

WHERE:
Local system

OPERATING SYSTEM:
RedHat Linux 9
RedHat Linux 7.1
RedHat Linux 8.0
RedHat Linux 7.2
RedHat Linux 7.3

DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update to tcpdump.

The reason is that the previous release didn't drop privileges when
executed. Tcpdump would therefore continue running as "root" rather
than the less privileged user "pcap".

This is not a vulnerability in itself, since it could only be
exploited if another vulnerability is present.
