___________________________________________________________________________

A security hole has been discovered in the package tcpdump.  Please update
this package in your installation as soon as possible.
___________________________________________________________________________

1. Problem Summary
   
   	Remote buffer overflows were discovered that would enable a remote
   attack of a local tcpdump process.  Intrusion detection using tcpdump
   would be rendered useless since the attack stops all network activity
   on the system.  This update also addresses the vulnerability in the
   decoding of AFS ACL packets, allowing a remote attacker to run arbitrary 
   code on the local system as user root.
  
2. Solution

  Update the package from our ftp server by running the following command:

  rpm -Uvh ftp_path_to_filename

  Where ftp_path_to_filename is the following:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/security/tcpdump-3.6.2-1.i386.rpm

  The source RPM can be downloaded here:

ftp://ftp.turbolinux.com/pub/updates/6.0/SRPMS/tcpdump-3.6.2-1.src.rpm

  **Note: You must rebuild and install the RPM if you choose to download
  and install the SRPM.  Simply installing the SRPM alone WILL NOT CLOSE
  THE SECURITY HOLE.

 Please verify the MD5 checksums of the updates before you install:

  MD5 sum                               Package Name
