Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2004:234 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: ethereal security update 2004-06-09 04:00:00 UTC

Description Mark J. Cox 2004-05-27 10:42:47 UTC
Issues have been discovered in the following protocol dissectors:

    * A SIP packet could make Ethereal crash under specific
conditions, as described in the following message:
      http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-users/200405/msg00018.html
      (0.10.3).
    * The AIM dissector could throw an assertion, causing Ethereal to
terminate abnormally (0.10.3).
    * It was possible for the SPNEGO dissector to dereference a null
pointer, causing a crash (0.9.8 to 0.10.3).
    * The MMSE dissector was susceptible to a buffer overflow. (0.10.1
to 0.10.3). 

        Affects: 2.1AS 2.1AW 2.1ES 2.1WS
        Affects: 3AS 3WS 3ES 3Desktop

Note that a number of crashes have been reported in 0.10.4 on
ethereal-users therefore suggest a backport of these fixes to 0.10.3

Note date on ethereal advisory states "March 22nd" but this is
incorrect, it should be "May 13th" (mailed Gerald with correction). 
CVE names applied for.
