Tcpdump · Tcpdump · CVE-2003-1029
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
tcpdump versions 3.8.1 and earlier
**Description**
The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop and memory consumption. This occurs when a packet with invalid data is sent to UDP port 1701, causing the `l2tp avp print` function to use a bad length value when calling `print octets`.
**Recommendations**
For versions 3.8.1 and earlier, update to a version later than 3.8.1 to resolve the issue.
