Package : ethereal
Vulnerability : buffer overflows
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE IDs : CAN-2003-0925 CAN-2003-0926 CAN-2003-0927 CAN-2003-1012 CAN-2003-1013

Several vulnerabilities were discovered upstream in ethereal, a
network traffic analyzer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2003-0925

A buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed GTP
MSISDN string.

CAN-2003-0926

Via certain malformed ISAKMP or MEGACO packets remote attackers are
able to cause a denial of service (crash).

CAN-2003-0927

A heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via
the SOCKS dissector.

CAN-2003-1012

The SMB dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service via a malformed SMB packet that triggers a segmentation
fault during processing of selected packets.

CAN-2003-1013

The Q.931 dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of
service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null
dereference.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.9.4-1woody6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in
version 0.10.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal and tethereal packages.
