Debian Security Advisory

DSA-407-1 ethereal -- buffer overflows

Date Reported:

05 Jan 2004

Affected Packages:

ethereal

Vulnerable:

Yes

Security database references:

In the Bugtraq database (at SecurityFocus): BugTraq ID 9248, BugTraq ID 9249.
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2003-0925, CVE-2003-0926, CVE-2003-0927, CVE-2003-1012, CVE-2003-1013.

More information:

Several vulnerabilities were discovered upstream in ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems:

• CAN-2003-0925

  A buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed GTP MSISDN string.

• CAN-2003-0926

  Via certain malformed ISAKMP or MEGACO packets remote attackers are able to cause a denial of service (crash).

• CAN-2003-0927

  A heap-based buffer overflow allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the SOCKS dissector.

• CAN-2003-1012

  The SMB dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed SMB packet that triggers a segmentation fault during processing of selected packets.

• CAN-2003-1013

  The Q.931 dissector allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null dereference.

For the stable distribution (woody) this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody6.

For the unstable distribution (sid) this problem has been fixed in version 0.10.0-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal and tethereal packages.

Fixed in:

Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (woody)
