+ <background>
+ <p>
+ Ethereal is a popular network protocol analyzer.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Ethereal contains buffer overflow vulnerabilities in the GTP, ISAKMP, and
+ MEGACO protocol dissectors, and a heap overflow vulnerability in the SOCKS
+ protocol dissector, which could cause Ethereal to crash or to execute
+ arbitrary code.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could craft a malformed packet which would cause Ethereal
+ to crash or run arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running
+ Ethereal.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time, other than to disable the GTP,
+ ISAKMP, MEGACO, and SOCKS protocol dissectors.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ It is recommended that all Gentoo Linux users who are running
+ net-analyzer/ethereal 0.9.x upgrade:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge sync
+ # emerge -pv '&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16'
+ # emerge '&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.9.16'
+ # emerge clean</code>
