<description>
<p>
There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior
to 0.10.13, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The SLIM3 and AgentX dissectors
could overflow a buffer (CVE-2005-3243).</li>
<li>iDEFENSE discovered a
buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector (CVE-2005-3184).</li>
<li>Multiple potential crashes in many dissectors have been fixed, see
References for further details.</li>
</ul>
<p>
Furthermore an infinite
loop was discovered in the IRC protocol dissector of the 0.10.13
release (CVE-2005-3313).
</p>
</description>
<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 &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.13-r1&quot;</code>
</resolution>
