The GTK version of ettercap uses a global settings file at
/tmp/.ettercap_gtk and does not verify ownership of this file. When parsing
this file for settings in gtkui_conf_read()
(src/interfacesgtk/ec_gtk_conf.c), an unchecked sscanf() call allows a
maliciously placed settings file to overflow a statically-sized buffer on
the stack.
