Debian alert: New ethereal packages fix buffer overflow

  • Mailing list (Posted by on CST)
  • Story Type: Security; Groups: Debian
Ethereal developers discovered a buffer overflow in the ISIS protocol dissector. It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or hang by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. It may be possible to make Ethereal run arbitrary code by exploiting the buffer and pointer problems.
