its reproducable. Visit http://www.cafepress.com/mjg59 whilst snooping eth0. segfaults every time here. Created attachment 109360 [details]
Valgrind of ethereal
Valgrind reports various errors during this. The first error (Syscall param
socketcall.setsockopt) always happens but the others could be quite hard to
reproduce and required reloading the mentioned link many times...
Is this one of the bugs addressed by the 0.17 update - http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00016.html (I checked the ethereal RPM changelog and I don't see any security backports)? I notice that double frees in the HTTP dissector is covered by http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CAN-2004-1141 Radek suggested the same thing to me. I did try the 0.10.8 update, and it was reproduceable there too. Oddly, I can't see to reproduce it any more on any version of ethereal. Dave, I've just rebuild new ethereal-0.10.9 and it's already avaliable in update. It fixes another few memory leaks ( http://www.ethereal.com/news/item_20050120_01.html ), might also fix your issue. Let me know if I'm wrong. |
