Package : ethereal Date : October 26, 2005 Affected: 10.2, 2006.0 _______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Ethereal 0.10.13 is now available fixing a number of security vulnerabilities in various dissectors:
- the ISAKMP dissector could exhaust system memory - the FC-FCS dissector could exhaust system memory - the RSVP dissector could exhaust system memory - the ISIS LSP dissector could exhaust system memory - the IrDA dissector could crash - the SLIMP3 dissector could overflow a buffer - the BER dissector was susceptible to an infinite loop - the SCSI dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash - the sFlow dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash - the RTnet dissector could dereference a null pointer and crash - the SigComp UDVM could go into an infinite loop or crash - the X11 dissector could attempt to divide by zero - if SMB transaction payload reassembly is enabled the SMB dissector could crash (by default this is disabled) - if the "Dissect unknown RPC program numbers" option was enabled, the ONC RPC dissector might be able to exhaust system memory (by default this is disabled) - the AgentX dissector could overflow a buffer - the WSP dissector could free an invalid pointer - iDEFENSE discovered a buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector
The new version of Ethereal is provided and corrects all of these issues.
Update:
An infinite loop in the IRC dissector was also discovered and fixed after the 0.10.13 release. The updated packages include the fix. _______________________________________________________________________
