---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Topic:
Updated tcpdump packages that correctly drop privileges on startup are now
available.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Linux 7.1 - i386
Red Hat Linux 7.2 - i386, ia64
Red Hat Linux 7.3 - i386
Red Hat Linux 8.0 - i386
Red Hat Linux 9 - i386
3. Problem description:
Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.=20
The Red Hat tcpdump packages advertise that by default tcpdump will drop
permissions to user 'pcap'. Due to a compilation error this did not
happen, and tcpdump would run as root unless the '-U' flag was specified.
Users of tcpdump are advised to upgrade to these errata packages, which
contain are compiled so that by default tcpdump will drop privileges to the
'pcap' user.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red
Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:
up2date
This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate
RPMs being upgraded on your system.

These packages are GPG signed by Red Hat for security. Our key is
available at http://www.redhat.com/solutions/security/news/publickey/
You can verify each package with the following command:
=20=20=20=20
rpm --checksig -v <filename>
If you only wish to verify that each package has not been corrupted or
tampered with, examine only the md5sum with the following command:
=20=20=20=20
md5sum <filename>
