PACKAGE   : ethereal
SUMMARY   : Several vulnerabilities

DESCRIPTION
 Ethereal[1] is a powerful network traffic analyzer with a graphical
 usr interface (GUI).
 
 This update announcement addresses several vulnerabilities[2,3] in
 ethereal versions <= 0.9.12. These vulnerabilities can be exploited
 by an attacker who can insert crafted packets in the wire being
 monitored by ethereal or make an user open a trace file with such
 packets inside. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can
 lead to denial of service conditions and/or remote execution of
 arbitrary code.
 
 The following vulnerabilities have been fixed:
 
 - Denial of Service (DoS) in the DCERPC dissector when trying to
 decode a NDR string[4];
 - Buffer overflow in the OSI dissector when decoding IPv4 or IPv6
 prefixes[5];
 - Denial of Service (DoS) in the SPNEGO dissector when parsing an
 invalid ASN.1 value[6];
 - Memory handling error in the tvb_get_nstringz0() routine when
 handling a zero-length buffer size[7];
 - Handling string vulnerabilities in the BGP, WTP, DNS, 802.11,
 ISAKMP, WSP, CLNP, ISIS and RMI dissectors[8].
 
 The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) project has assigned
 the names CAN-2003-04{28,29,30,31,32} to these issues, respectively.


SOLUTION
 All ethereal users should upgrade their packages.
