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.
