<p>
|
|
There are multiple vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal earlier than
|
|
0.10.5, including:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>In some cases the iSNS dissector could cause Ethereal to
|
|
abort.</li>
|
|
<li>If there was no policy name for a handle for SMB SID snooping it
|
|
could cause a crash.</li>
|
|
<li>A malformed or missing community string could cause the SNMP
|
|
dissector to crash.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</description>
|
|
<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
An attacker could use these vulnerabilities to crash Ethereal or even
|
|
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 by selecting Analyze->Enabled Protocols... and deselecting
|
|
them from the list. For SMB you can disable SID snooping in the SMB
|
|
protocol preference. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to
|
|
the latest stable version.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
|
|
</p>
