+  <title>Ethereal: Buffer overflow in OSPF protocol dissector</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Ethereal is missing bounds checking in the OSPF protocol dissector that
+    could lead to abnormal program termination or the execution of arbitrary
+    code.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    Ethereal is a feature-rich network protocol analyzer. It provides
+    protocol analyzers for various network flows, including one for Open
+    Shortest Path First (OSPF) Interior Gateway Protocol.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    iDEFENSE reported a possible overflow due to the lack of bounds
+    checking in the dissect_ospf_v3_address_prefix() function, part of the
+    OSPF protocol dissector.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker might be able to craft a malicious network flow that
+    would crash Ethereal. It may be possible, though unlikely, to exploit
+    this flaw to 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-r2"</code>
