Background ========== Ethereal is a feature-rich network protocol analyzer. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/ethereal < 0.10.12 >= 0.10.12 Description =========== There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior to 0.10.12, including: * The SMB dissector could overflow a buffer or exhaust memory (CAN-2005-2365). * iDEFENSE discovered that several dissectors are vulnerable to format string overflows (CAN-2005-2367). * Additionally multiple potential crashes in many dissectors have been fixed, see References for further details. Impact ====== An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Ethereal, which could be the root user. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.12" References ========== [ 1 ] Ethereal enpa-sa-00020 http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00020.html [ 2 ] CAN-2005-2360 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2360 [ 3 ] CAN-2005-2361 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2361 [ 4 ] CAN-2005-2362 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2362 [ 5 ] CAN-2005-2363 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2363 [ 6 ] CAN-2005-2364 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2364 [ 7 ] CAN-2005-2365 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2365 [ 8 ] CAN-2005-2366 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2366 [ 9 ] CAN-2005-2367 http://www.cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2005-2367 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200507-27.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
