"Several of the packet dissectors in ethereal contain string handling
bugs which could be exploited using a maliciously crafted packet to
cause ethereal to consume excessive amounts of memory, crash, or
execute arbitrary code.

These vulnerabilities were announced in the following Ethereal
security advisory :

Ethereal 0.9.4 in Debian 3.0 (woody) is affected by most of the
problems described in the advisory, including :

  - The DCERPC dissector could try to allocate too much
    memory while trying to decode an NDR string.
  - Bad IPv4 or IPv6 prefix lengths could cause an overflow
    in the OSI dissector.

  - The tvb_get_nstringz0() routine incorrectly handled a
    zero-length buffer size.

  - The BGP, WTP, DNS, 802.11, ISAKMP, WSP, CLNP, and ISIS
    dissectors handled strings improperly.

The following problems do not affect this version :

  - The SPNEGO dissector could segfault while parsing an
    invalid ASN.1 value.
  - The RMI dissector handled strings improperly

as these modules are not present."

in a future advisory.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package."
