Detail
| Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Ethereal network scanner. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: CVE-2005-4574 It was discovered that the MIME multipart dissector is vulnerable to denial of service caused by an off-by-one overflow. CVE-2006-4805 It was discovered that the XOT dissector is vulnerable to denial of service caused by memory corruption. For the stable distribution (sarge) these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.10-2sarge9. Due to technical problems with the security buildd infrastructure this update lacks builds for the hppa and sparc architecture. They will be released as soon as the problems are resolved. For the unstable distribution (sid) these problems will be fixed soon. We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages. |

| 21931 | CommonSpot Content Server loader.cfm bNewWindow Parameter XSS CommonSpot Content Server contains a flaw that allows a remote cross site scripting attack. This flaw exists because the application does not validate the 'bNewWindow' variable upon submission to the 'loader.cfm' script. This could allow a user to create a specially crafted URL that would execute arbitrary code in a user's browser within the trust relationship between the browser and the server, leading to a loss of integrity. |
