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.
For the old stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody15.
For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.10-2sarge5.
For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon.
We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages.");
