[GLSA-200406-01] Ethereal: Multiple security problems |

Ethereal: Multiple security problems Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200406-01 (Ethereal: Multiple security problems) There are multiple vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal earlier than 0.10.4, including: A buffer overflow in the MMSE dissector. Under specific conditions a SIP packet could make Ethereal crash. The AIM dissector could throw an assertion, causing Ethereal to crash. The SPNEGO dissector could dereference a null pointer, causing a crash. Impact A possible hacker 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. Workaround For a temporary workaround you can disable all affected protocol dissectors by selecting Analyze->Enabled Protocols... and deselecting them from the list. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest stable release.
