DSA-1049-1 ethereal Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Gerald Combs reported several vulnerabilities in ethereal, a popular network traffic analyser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: The OID printing routine is susceptible to an off-by-one error. The UMA and BER dissectors could go into an infinite loop. The Network Instruments file code could overrun a buffer. The COPS dissector contains a potential buffer overflow. The telnet dissector contains a buffer overflow. Bugs in the SRVLOC and AIM dissector, and in the statistics counter could crash ethereal. Null pointer dereferences in the SMB PIPE dissector and when reading a malformed Sniffer capture could crash ethereal. Null pointer dereferences in the ASN.1, GSM SMS, RPC and ASN.1-based dissector and an invalid display filter could crash ethereal. The SNDCP dissector could cause an unintended abortion. For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody15. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.10-2sarge5. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages.
