Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Ethereal network scanner, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems :
CVE-2006-4333 It was discovered that the Q.2391 dissector is vulnerable to denial of service caused by memory exhaustion.
CVE-2005-3241 It was discovered that the FC-FCS, RSVP and ISIS-LSP dissectors are vulnerable to denial of service caused by memory exhaustion.
CVE-2005-3242 It was discovered that the IrDA and SMB dissectors are vulnerable to denial of service caused by memory corruption.
CVE-2005-3243 It was discovered that the SLIMP3 and AgentX dissectors are vulnerable to code injection caused by buffer overflows.
CVE-2005-3244 It was discovered that the BER dissector is vulnerable to denial of service caused by an infinite loop.
CVE-2005-3246 It was discovered that the NCP and RTnet dissectors are vulnerable to denial of service caused by a NULL pointer dereference.
CVE-2005-3248 It was discovered that the X11 dissector is vulnerable to denial of service caused by a division through zero.
This update also fixes a 64 bit-specific regression in the ASN.1 decoder, which was introduced in a previous DSA.
