ethereal - several

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Ethereal network
scanner, which may lead to the execution of arbitrary code. The Common
Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CVE-2006-4333
  It was discovered that the Q.2391 dissector is vulnerable to denial
  of service caused by memory exhaustion.
• CVE-2005-3241
  It was discovered that the FC-FCS, RSVP and ISIS-LSP dissectors are
  vulnerable to denial of service caused by memory exhaustion.
• CVE-2005-3242
  It was discovered that the IrDA and SMB dissectors are vulnerable to
  denial of service caused by memory corruption.
• CVE-2005-3243
  It was discovered that the SLIMP3 and AgentX dissectors are vulnerable
  to code injection caused by buffer overflows.
• CVE-2005-3244
  It was discovered that the BER dissector is vulnerable to denial of
  service caused by an infinite loop.
• CVE-2005-3246
  It was discovered that the NCP and RTnet dissectors are vulnerable to
  denial of service caused by a null pointer dereference.
• CVE-2005-3248
  It was discovered that the X11 dissector is vulnerable to denial of service
  caused by a division through zero.

This update also fixes a 64 bit-specific regression in the ASN.1 decoder, which
was introduced in a previous DSA.

For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.10.10-2sarge8.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems have been fixed in
version 0.99.2-5.1 of wireshark, the network sniffer formerly known as
ethereal.

We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages.
