Package : ethereal
Vulnerability : denial of service
Problem-Type : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids : CAN-2004-0635

Several denial of service vulnerabilities were discovered in
ethereal, a network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilites are
described in the ethereal advisory “enpa-sa-00015”. Of these, only
one (CAN-2004-0635) affects the version of ethereal in Debian
woody. This vulnerability could be exploited by a remote attacker
to crash ethereal with an invalid SNMP packet.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have
been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody8.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.10.5-1.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package.
