Upgrade RHEL:7 tcpdump to version 14:4.9.0-5.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:1871.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tcpdump package and not the tcpdump package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

The rpki_rtr_pdu_print function in print-rpki-rtr.c in the TCP printer in tcpdump before 4.7.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write and crash) via a crafted header length in an RPKI-RTR Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
