Gentoo Linux Security Advisory
Title: Ethereal: Multiple vulnerabilities in protocol dissectors (GLSA 200510-25)
Severity: high
Exploitable: remote
Date: October 30, 2005
Bug(s): #109348
ID: 200510-25
Synopsis
Ethereal is vulnerable to numerous vulnerabilities, potentially resulting
in the execution of arbitrary code or abnormal termination.
Background
Ethereal is a feature-rich network protocol analyzer.
Affected Packages
Package: net-analyzer/ethereal
Vulnerable: < 0.10.13-r1
Unaffected: >= 0.10.13-r1
Architectures: All supported architectures
Description
There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior
to 0.10.13, including:
- The SLIM3 and AgentX dissectors
could overflow a buffer (CVE-2005-3243). - iDEFENSE discovered a
buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector (CVE-2005-3184). - Multiple potential crashes in many dissectors have been fixed, see
References for further details.
Furthermore an infinite
loop was discovered in the IRC protocol dissector of the 0.10.13
release (CVE-2005-3313).
Impact
An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
Workaround
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
Code: | # emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.13-r1" |
