There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior
|
|
to 0.10.12, including:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The SMB dissector could overflow a
|
|
buffer or exhaust memory (CAN-2005-2365).</li>
|
|
<li>iDEFENSE discovered
|
|
that several dissectors are vulnerable to format string overflows
|
|
(CAN-2005-2367).</li>
|
|
<li>Additionally multiple potential crashes in
|
|
many dissectors have been fixed, see References for further
|
|
details.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|

|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
|
|
Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
|
|
running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.12"</code>
