CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
PACKAGE : ethereal
SUMMARY : Several vulnerabilities
DATE : 2003-06-25 17:06:00
ID : CLA-2003:662
RELEVANT
RELEASES : 7.0, 8, 9
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION
Ethereal[1] is a powerful network traffic analyzer with a graphical
usr interface (GUI).
This update announcement addresses several vulnerabilities[2,3] in
ethereal versions <= 0.9.12. These vulnerabilities can be exploited
by an attacker who can insert crafted packets in the wire being
monitored by ethereal or make an user open a trace file with such
packets inside. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can
lead to denial of service conditions and/or remote execution of
arbitrary code.
The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:
- Denial of Service (DoS) in the DCERPC dissector when trying to
decode a NDR string[4];
- Buffer overflow in the OSI dissector when decoding IPv4 or IPv6
prefixes[5];
- Denial of Service (DoS) in the SPNEGO dissector when parsing an
invalid ASN.1 value[6];
- Memory handling error in the tvb_get_nstringz0() routine when
handling a zero-length buffer size[7];
- Handling string vulnerabilities in the BGP, WTP, DNS, 802.11,
ISAKMP, WSP, CLNP, ISIS and RMI dissectors[8].
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
the names CAN-2003-04{28,29,30,31,32} to these issues, respectively.
SOLUTION
All ethereal users should upgrade their packages.
