+ <description>
+ <p>
+ There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior
+ to 0.10.13, including:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>The SLIM3 and AgentX dissectors
+ could overflow a buffer (CVE-2005-3243).</li>
+ <li>iDEFENSE discovered a
+ buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector (CVE-2005-3184).</li>
+ <li>Multiple potential crashes in many dissectors have been fixed, see
+ References for further details.</li>
+ </ul>
+ <p>
+ Furthermore an infinite
+ loop was discovered in the IRC protocol dissector of the 0.10.13
+ release (CVE-2005-3313).
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="high">
+ <p>
+ An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
+ Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
+ running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.13-r1"</code>
