<p>
Ethereal is a feature rich network protocol analyzer.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior
to 0.10.11, including:
</p>
<ul>
<li>The ANSI A and DHCP dissectors are
vulnerable to format string vulnerabilities.</li>
<li>The DISTCC,
FCELS, SIP, ISIS, CMIP, CMP, CMS, CRMF, ESS, OCSP, PKIX1Explitit, PKIX
Qualified, X.509, Q.931, MEGACO, NCP, ISUP, TCAP and Presentation
dissectors are vulnerable to buffer overflows.</li>
<li>The KINK, WSP,
SMB Mailslot, H.245, MGCP, Q.931, RPC, GSM and SMB NETLOGON dissectors
are vulnerable to pointer handling errors.</li>
<li>The LMP, KINK,
MGCP, RSVP, SRVLOC, EIGRP, MEGACO, DLSw, NCP and L2TP dissectors are
vulnerable to looping problems.</li>
<li>The Telnet and DHCP dissectors
could abort.</li>
<li>The TZSP, Bittorrent, SMB, MGCP and ISUP
dissectors could cause a segmentation fault.</li>
<li>The WSP, 802.3
Slow protocols, BER, SMB Mailslot, SMB, NDPS, IAX2, RADIUS, SMB PIPE,
MRDISC and TCAP dissectors could throw assertions.</li>
<li>The DICOM,
NDPS and ICEP dissectors are vulnerable to memory handling errors.</li>
<li>The GSM MAP, AIM, Fibre Channel,SRVLOC, NDPS, LDAP and NTLMSSP
dissectors could terminate abnormallly.</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
Ethereal and execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.11"</code>
</resolution>
