+ Ethereal is a popular network protocol analyzer. +

+
+ +

+ Ethereal contains buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the GTP, ISAKMP, and + MEGACO protocol dissectors, and a heap overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS + protocol dissector, which could cause Ethereal to crash or to execute + arbitrary code. +

+
+ +

+ A remote attacker could craft a malformed packet which would cause Ethereal + to crash or run arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running + Ethereal. +

+
+ +

+ There is no known workaround at this time, other than to disable the GTP, + ISAKMP, MEGACO, and SOCKS protocol dissectors. +

+
+ +

+ It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running + net-analyzer/ethereal 0.9.x upgrade: +

+ + # emerge sync + # emerge -pv '>=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16' + # emerge '>=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16' + # emerge clean +
