CVE-2001-1279 — HIGH severity vulnerability (Buffer overflow in print-rx.c of tcpdump 3.x (probably 3.6x))
Buffer overflow in print-rx.c of tcpdump 3.x (probably 3.6x) allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via AFS RPC packets with invalid lengths that trigger an integer signedness error, a different vulnerability than CVE-2000-1026.
