+    mu-b from Digital Labs discovered that the return value of a snprintf()
+    call is not properly checked before being used. This could lead to an
+    integer overflow.

+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could send specially crafted BGP packets on a network
+    being monitored with tcpdump, possibly resulting in the execution of
+    arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running tcpdump, which
+    is usually root.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All tcpdump users should upgrade to the latest version:

+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/tcpdump-3.9.5-r3&quot;</code>
