The remote host is missing an update to ethereal
announced via advisory DSA 1049-1.
Gerald Combs reported several vulnerabilities in ethereal, a popular
network traffic analyser. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures
project identifies the following problems:
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.
