Detail

Several vulnerabilities were discovered upstream in ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

CAN-2003-0925

A buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed GTP MSISDN string.

CAN-2003-0926

Via certain malformed ISAKMP or MEGACO packets remote attackers are able to cause a denial of service (crash).

CAN-2003-0927

A heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the SOCKS dissector.

CAN-2003-1012

The SMB dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed SMB packet that triggers a segmentation fault during processing of selected packets.

CAN-2003-1013

The Q.931 dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null dereference.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.10.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal and tethereal packages.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
3270 Ethereal Q.931 Protocol Dissector DoS

Ethereal contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a specially crafted Q.931 packet is processed by the application and will result in Ethereal crashing. It is unknown if the vulnerability could allow execution of arbitrary code.
3027 Ethereal GTP MSISDN Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal's GTP Protocol Dissector. The protocol dissector fails to do proper bounds checking resulting in an overflow. With a specially crafted GTP MSISDN packet injected onto a network being monitored or a file being loaded by Ethereal, an attacker can cause Ethereal to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.
3026 Ethereal/Tethereal ISAKMP And MEGACO Packet Overflow

3018 Ethereal SMB Protocol Dissector DoS

Ethereal contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a specially crafted SMB packet is processed by the application and will result in Ethereal crashing. It is unknown if the vulnerability could allow execution of arbitrary code.
2752 Ethereal SOCKS Protocol Dissector Heap Overflow

A remote overflow exists in Ethereal's SOCKS Protocol Dissector. The protocol dissector fails to do proper bounds checking resulting in a heap overflow. With a specially crafted packet injected into a network being monitored or a file being loaded by Ethereal, an attacker can cause Ethereal to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.
