Package: tcpdump
Version: 4.6.2-5
Severity: grave
Control: fixed -1 4.7.4-1
Control: tag -1 jessie
I have been using tcpdump like this for ages:
/usr/sbin/tcpdump -Z $user -S0 -p -n U -B $bufsz -i $iface -w - "$rule"
The important thing here is that tcpdump drops privileges to $user and
writes the pcap file to standard output ... which gets piped to another
process.
Post-processing of the resulting streams broke after upgrading to jessie
because tcpdump prints that bit of information about dropping privileges
to standard output.
This has been fixed in 4.7.4-1 currently part of stretch. Since a
backport of that is available via jessie-backports, I'm going to use
that on the machines affected.
Cheers,
-Hilko
