Check for the version of the arpwatch packages
Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Test
Updated tcpdump, libpcap, and arpwatch packages are available. These
updates close a buffer overflow when handling NFS packets.
tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic. Versions of
tcpdump up to and including 3.6.2 have a buffer overflow that can be
triggered when tracing the network by a bad NFS packet.
We are not yet aware if this issue is fully exploitable
however, users of
tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these errata packages which contain a
patch for this issue.
