Dear maintainer(s) of the tcpdump project, as you may or may not know, your software is included in the NetBSD base system, and as such it was included in a recent scan of the NetBSD system by Coverity. We thought that you may be interested in the results regarding your software.
A list of all scan results is available via http://scan.coverity.com/, the NetBSD scan results can be found at http://scan.coverity.com:7449/. To access them you have to register at Coverity's site. To do so, send email to scan-admin.com with the following information: * You want access to the NetBSD scan reports * Your full name * Your email address * Phone number * Your association with the NetBSD project, and purpose of access: this would probably be something like "access tcpdump scan results as part of the NetBSD scan - NetBSD includes the tcpdump sources" If you can find and fix any problems in your software, that would be great. If you want to communicate any changes you find and fix in your software towards NetBSD, so we can incorporate them directly (instead of in the next import of the next tcpdump release), please talk to the people who are responsible for tcpdump in NetBSD - this would esp. be appreciated if you think a problem is security relevant. The responsible parties for tcpdump in NetBSD can be reached at the following mail address(es): [EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Your files can be found in NetBSD in the following path: src/dist/tcpdump If you want to talk to Coverity to get your own project scanned on its own, please feel free to do so. NetBSD will get your fixes via the next update of our sources then. Information about Coverity can be found at http://www.coverity.com, information about NetBSD can be found at http://www.NetBSD.org, the NetBSD CVS repository is available via http://cvsweb.NetBSD.org/. If you have any questions, let me know! Kind regards, Hubert Feyrer The NetBSD Project - This is the tcpdump-workers list. Visit https://lists.sandelman.ca/ to unsubscribe.
