-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : ethereal SUMMARY : Fix for ethereal vulnerabilities DATE : 2004-01-07 17:38:00 ID : CLA-2004:801 RELEVANT RELEASES : 8, 9 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Ethereal[1] is a powerful network traffic analyzer with a graphical user interface (GUI). This update announcement addresses vulnerabilities[2] in the SMB (CAN-2003-1012[3]) and Q.931 (CAN-2003-1013[4]) protocol dissectors. 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. When reading this data, Ethereal will crash. The possibility of execution of arbitrary code has not been investigated. SOLUTION It is recommended that all Ethereal users upgrade their packages.
