OVERVIEW |
15 |
|
16 |
The ISIS protocol dissector in Ethereal 0.9.5 and earlier versions |
17 |
is susceptible to a buffer overflow. |
18 |
|
19 |
DETAIL |
20 |
|
21 |
It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or hang by injecting a |
22 |
purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing someone |
23 |
to read a malformed packet trace file. It may be possible to make |
24 |
Ethereal run arbitrary code by exploiting the buffer and pointer problems. |
25 |
|
26 |

SOLUTION |
30 |
|
31 |
It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running |
32 |
net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.5-r2 and earlier update their systems |
33 |
as follows: |
34 |
|
35 |
emerge rsync |
36 |
emerge ethereal |
37 |
emerge clean |
