- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

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.
