The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2017:1871 advisory.

    The tcpdump packages contain the tcpdump utility for monitoring network traffic. The tcpdump utility can     capture and display the packet headers on a particular network interface or on all interfaces.

    The following packages have been upgraded to a later upstream version: tcpdump (4.9.0). (BZ#1422473)

    Security Fix(es):

    * Multiple out of bounds read and integer overflow vulnerabilities were found in tcpdump affecting the     decoding of various protocols. An attacker could create a crafted pcap file or send specially crafted     packets to the network segment where tcpdump is running in live capture mode (without -w) which could     cause it to display incorrect data, crash or enter an infinite loop.

New tcpdump packages are available for Slackware 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. NOTE: These updates also require the updated libpcap package.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201702-30 (tcpdump: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in tcpdump. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker, by sending a specially crafted network package, could       possibly execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or       cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The FRF.15 parser in tcpdump before 4.9.0 has a buffer overflow in print-fr.c:frf15_print().
    (CVE-2016-8574)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

The remote MiracleLinux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2017-1761:01 advisory.

    Tcpdump is a command-line tool for monitoring network traffic.
    Tcpdump can capture and display the packet headers on a particular     network interface or on all interfaces.  Tcpdump can display all of     the packet headers, or just the ones that match particular criteria.
    Install tcpdump if you need a program to monitor network traffic.
