Summary: Updated Ethereal packages that fix various security vulnerabilities are now available. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64 Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 2.1 - i386 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 3 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Ethereal is a program for monitoring network traffic. The SNMP dissector in Ethereal releases 0.8.15 through 0.10.4 contained a memory read flaw. On a system where Ethereal is running, a remote attacker could send malicious packets that could cause Ethereal to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0635 to this issue. The SMB dissector in Ethereal releases 0.9.15 through 0.10.4 contained a null pointer flaw. On a system where Ethereal is running, a remote attacker could send malicious packets that could cause Ethereal to crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0634 to this issue. The iSNS dissector in Ethereal releases 0.10.3 through 0.10.4 contained an integer overflow flaw. On a system where Ethereal is running, a remote attacker could send malicious packets that could cause Ethereal to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0633 to this issue. Users of Ethereal should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a version that is not vulnerable to these issues. 4.
