Gerald Combs reported several vulnerabilities in ethereal, a popular network traffic analyser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :

  • CVE-2006-1932 The OID printing routine is susceptible to an off-by-one error.

  • CVE-2006-1933 The UMA and BER dissectors could go into an infinite loop.

  • CVE-2006-1934 The Network Instruments file code could overrun a buffer.

  • CVE-2006-1935 The COPS dissector contains a potential buffer overflow.

  • CVE-2006-1936 The telnet dissector contains a buffer overflow.

  • CVE-2006-1937 Bugs in the SRVLOC and AIM dissector, and in the statistics counter could crash ethereal.

  • CVE-2006-1938 NULL pointer dereferences in the SMB PIPE dissector and when reading a malformed Sniffer capture could crash ethereal.

  • CVE-2006-1939 NULL pointer dereferences in the ASN.1, GSM SMS, RPC and ASN.1-based dissector and an invalid display filter could crash ethereal.

  • CVE-2006-1940 The SNDCP dissector could cause an unintended abortion.
