Detail

Timo Sirainen discovered several vulnerabilities in ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. These include one-byte buffer overflows in the AIM, GIOP Gryphon, OSPF, PPTP, Quake, Quake2, Quake3, Rsync, SMB, SMPP, and TSP dissectors, and integer overflows in the Mount and PPP dissectors.

For the stable distribution (woody) these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody4.

The old stable distribution (potato) does not appear to contain these vulnerabilities.

For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems are fixed in version 0.9.12-1.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package.

Id Description
6917 Ethereal TSP Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The TSP Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6916 Ethereal SMPP Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The SMPP Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6915 Ethereal SMB Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The SMB Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6914 Ethereal rsync Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The Rsync Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6913 Ethereal Quake3 Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The Quake3 Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6912 Ethereal Quake2 Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The Quake2 Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6911 Ethereal Quake Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The Quake Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6910 Ethereal PPTP Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The PPTP Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
6909 Ethereal OSPF Dissector Remote Off-by-one Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The OSPF Dissector fails to validate input to memory buffers resulting in an off-by-one overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands resulting in a loss of integrity.
