Background ========== Ettercap is a suite of tools for content filtering, sniffing and man in the middle attacks on a LAN. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/ettercap < 0.7.3 >= 0.7.3 Description =========== The curses_msg function of Ettercap's Ncurses-based user interface insecurely implements formatted printing.
