summary: Security problems in Ethereal 0.9.15 |
| 12 |
severity: normal |
| 13 |
Gentoo bug: 32691 |
| 14 |
date: 2003-11-22 |
| 15 |
CVE: none |
| 16 |
exploit: remote |
| 17 |
affected: <0.9.16 |
| 18 |
fixed: >=0.9.16 |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
DESCRIPTION: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Quote from <http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00011.html>: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Potential security issues have been discovered in the following protocol |
| 26 |
dissectors: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
* An improperly formatted GTP MSISDN string could cause a buffer |
| 29 |
overflow. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
* A malformed ISAKMP or MEGACO packet could make Ethereal or |
| 32 |
Tethereal crash. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
* The SOCKS dissector was susceptible to a heap overlfow. |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
Impact: |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or run arbitrary code |
| 39 |
by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, or |
| 40 |
by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Resolution: |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Upgrade to 0.9.16. |
| 45 |
|
| 46 |
If you are running a version prior to 0.9.16 and you cannot |
| 47 |
upgrade, you can disable the GTP, ISAKMP, MEGACO, and SOCKS |
| 48 |
protocol dissectors by selecting Edit->Protocols... and |
| 49 |
deselecting them from the list. |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
SOLUTION: |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
| 56 |
net-analyzer/ethereal 0.9.x upgrade: |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
emerge sync |
| 59 |
emerge '>=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16' |
| 60 |
emerge clean |
| 61 |
