Description Josh Bressers 2004-07-07 14:21:59 UTC
A number of issues hve been discovered in Ethereal.

http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00015.html

Comment 1 Josh Bressers 2004-07-07 14:22:19 UTC
Update severity to security.

Comment 3 Josh Bressers 2004-07-07 14:27:14 UTC
Here's my analysis of the bugs fixed.

#  The iSNS dissector could make Ethereal abort in some cases. (0.10.3
- 0.10.4)

This is an integer overflow flaw.  It's most likely just a DOS, I see
no evidence that it could run arbitrary code, but I'm not going to
rule it out.


# SMB SID snooping could crash if there was no policy name for a
handle. (0.9.15 - 0.10.4)

This is a null pointer flaw.  It's a DOS.


# The SNMP dissector could crash due to a malformed or missing
community string. (0.8.15 - 0.10.4)

This is an out of bounds memory read issue.

Comment 4 Josh Bressers 2004-07-07 14:28:17 UTC
This issue also affects RHEL2.1
