Summary
Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated ethereal packages are available
Notes
Topic
Updated ethereal packages are available which fix several security problems.
Details
Ethereal is a package designed for monitoring network traffic on your
system. Several security issues have been found in Ethereal:
Due to improper string and error handling in Ethereal's ASN.1 parser, it is
possible for a malformed SNMP or LDAP packet to cause a memory allocation
or buffer overrun error in Ethereal versions before 0.9.2 (CAN-2002-0013
CAN-2002-0012)
The ASN.1 parser in Ethereal 0.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain malformed packet, which
causes Ethereal to allocate memory incorrectly, possibly due to zero-length
fields. (CAN-2002-0353)
The SMB dissector in Ethereal prior to version 0.9.2 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code
via malformed packets that cause Ethereal to dereference a NULL pointer.
(CAN-2002-0401)
A buffer overflow in X11 dissector in Ethereal before 0.9.3 allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
execute arbitrary code while Ethereal is parsing keysyms. (CAN-2002-0402)
The DNS dissector in Ethereal before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to
cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed packet
that causes Ethereal to enter an infinite loop. (CAN-2002-0403)
A vulnerability in GIOP dissector in Ethereal before 0.9.3 allows remote
attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption). (CAN-2002-0404)
Users of Ethereal should update to the errata packages containing Ethereal
version 0.9.4 which is not vulnerable to these issues.

"details": "Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata\nrelevant to your system have been applied.\n\nTo update all RPMs for your particular architecture, run:\n\nrpm -Fvh [filenames]\n\nwhere [filenames] is a list of the RPMs you wish to upgrade. Only those\nRPMs which are currently installed will be updated. Those RPMs which are\nnot installed but included in the list will not be updated. Note that you\ncan also use wildcards (*.rpm) if your current directory *only* contains the\ndesired RPMs.\n\nPlease note that this update is also available via Red Hat Network. Many\npeople find this an easier way to apply updates. To use Red Hat Network,\nlaunch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:\n\nup2date\n\nThis will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate\nRPMs being upgraded on your system.",
