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.
