An Ethreal Security Advisories reports :

Our testing program has turned up several more security issues :

  • The LDAP dissector could free static memory and crash.

  • The AgentX dissector could crash.

  • The 802.3 dissector could go into an infinite loop.

  • The PER dissector could abort.

  • The DHCP dissector could go into an infinite loop.

  • The BER dissector could abort or loop infinitely.

  • The MEGACO dissector could go into an infinite loop.

  • The GIOP dissector could dereference a NULL pointer.

  • The SMB dissector was susceptible to a buffer overflow.

  • The WBXML could dereference a NULL pointer.

  • The H1 dissector could go into an infinite loop.

  • The DOCSIS dissector could cause a crash.

  • The SMPP dissector could go into an infinite loop.

  • SCTP graphs could crash.

  • The HTTP dissector could crash.

  • The SMB dissector could go into a large loop.

  • The DCERPC dissector could crash.

  • Several dissectors could crash while reassembling packets.

Steve Grubb at Red Hat found the following issues :

  • The CAMEL dissector could dereference a NULL pointer.

  • The DHCP dissector could crash.

  • The CAMEL dissector could crash.

  • The PER dissector could crash.

  • The RADIUS dissector could crash.

  • The Telnet dissector could crash.

  • The IS-IS LSP dissector could crash.

  • The NCP dissector could crash.

iDEFENSE found the following issues :

  • Several dissectors were susceptible to a format string overflow.
    Impact : It may be possible to make Ethereal crash, use up available memory, or run arbitrary code by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.
