-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONECTIVA LINUX SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- PACKAGE : ethereal SUMMARY : Several vulnerabilities DATE : 2002-07-04 14:42:00 ID : CLA-2002:505 RELEVANT RELEASES : 6.0, 7.0, 8 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- DESCRIPTION Ethereal is a powerful network traffic analyzer with an intuitive interface. This update addresses several vulnerabilities in ethereal <= 0.9.4 as stated[1][2] in the project's home page. The following protocol dissectors were vulnerable to various kinds of attacks (mainly DoS and arbitrary code execution): BGP, X11, DNS, GIOP, WCP, SOCKS, RSVP, AFS and LMP. These vulnerabilities can be exploited by an attacker who can insert crafted packets in the wire being monitored by ethereal or make an user open a trace file with such packets inside. SOLUTION All ethereal users should upgrade their packages.
