Detail
| Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilites are described in the ethereal advisory "enpa-sa-00013". Of these, only some parts of CAN-2004-0176 affect the version of ethereal in Debian woody. CAN-2004-0367 and CAN-2004-0365 are not applicable to this version. For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody7. For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.10.3-1. We recommend that you update your ethereal package. |

| Id | Description |
|---|---|
| 13847 | Linux Kernel shmctl() Function Arbitrary Locked Memory Access |
| 6898 | Ethereal UCP Dissector Handle Time-Field Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The UCP Dissector fails to check the boundary of the Time field resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. This can only be exploited if the system has a MTU bigger than BUFSIZ, which may limit which platforms are susceptable. |
| 6897 | Ethereal UCP Dissector Handle Int-Field Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The UCP Dissector fails to check the boundary of the Integer field resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. This can only be exploited if the system has a MTU bigger than BUFSIZ, which may limit which platforms are susceptable. |
| 6896 | Ethereal UCP Dissector Handle String-Field Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The UCP Dissector fails to check the boundary of a UCP Packet string resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. This can only be exploited if the system has a MTU bigger than BUFSIZ, which may limit which platforms are susceptable. |
| 6895 | Ethereal TCAP Dissector TID Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The TCAP Dissector fails to check the bounds of the ASN.1 encoded Transaction ID resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary coderesulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 6894 | Ethereal ISUP Dissector INTERWORKING FUNCTION ADDRESS Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The ISUP Dissector fails to check the bounds of the IWFA resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 6893 | Ethereal BGP Dissector MPLS Label Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The BGP Dissector fails to check the bounds of the IPv6 label resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. Due to the stacklayout, exploitation would be extremely difficult. |
| 6892 | Ethereal IRDA Dissector Plugin IRCOM_PORT_NAME Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The IRDA Dissector Plugin fails to check the bounds of the "IRCOM_PORT_NAME" variable resulting in an overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. Due to the stacklayout, exploitation would be extremely difficult. |
| 6891 | Ethereal PGM Dissector NakList Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The PGM Dissector fails to check the bounds of the Naklist resulting in a integer underflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. Due to the stacklayout, code execution would be extremely difficult. |
| 6890 | Ethereal EIGRP Protocol TLV_IP_EXT Long IP Address Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The EIGRP Dissector fails to check the bounds of the "TLV_IP_EXT" variable resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 6889 | Ethereal EIGRP Protocol TLV_IP_INT Long IP Address Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The EIGRP Dissector fails to check the bounds of the "TLV_IP_INT" variable resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 6888 | Ethereal IGAP Protocol Dissector Message Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The IGAP Protocol Dissector fails to check the bounds of the "message" variable resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 6887 | Ethereal IGAP Protocol Dissector Account Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The IGAP Protocol Dissector fails to check the bounds of the "accountname" variable resulting in a stack overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 4490 | Ethereal NetFlow v9 Dissector Template Caching Overflow A remote overflow exists in Ethereal. The NetFlow v9 Dissector fails to check the bounds of the template_entry variable resulting in a caching overflow. With a specially crafted request, an attacker can cause a buffer overflow resulting in a loss of integrity. |
| 4463 | Ethereal RADIUS Packet DoS Ethereal contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered due to the 'dissect_attribute_value_pairs' function in packet-radius.c. It is possible for a remote attacker to send a specially crafted RADIUS packet, which triggers a NULL derefence and will result in loss of availability for the application. |
| 4462 | Ethereal Presentation Protocol Selector DoS Ethereal contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered by using a zero-length presentation protocol selector, and will result in loss of availability for the application. No further details have been provided. |
