Ethereal is a feature rich network protocol analyzer.

<description>
<p>
There are multiple vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal earlier than
0.10.10, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The Etheric, 3GPP2 A11 and IAPP dissectors are vulnerable to buffer
overflows (CAN-2005-0704, CAN-2005-0699 and CAN-2005-0739).</li>
<li>The GPRS-LLC could crash when the "ignore cipher bit" option is
enabled (CAN-2005-0705).</li>
<li>Various vulnerabilities in JXTA and sFlow dissectors.</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
Ethereal and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
For a temporary workaround you can disable all affected protocol
dissectors. However, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to the
latest stable version.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.10&quot;</code>
</resolution>
