Secunia

Two vulnerabilities have been reported in Ethereal, which can be exploited by malicious people to crash the application.

An unspecified error can be exploited to cause a segmentation fault, if a user selects "Match->Selected" or "Prepare->Selected" for a malformed SMB packet. It is reportedly not known, whether this issue also can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on an affected system.

A NULL pointer dereference bug in the Q.931 protocol dissector can be exploited to crash Ethereal / Tethereal by sending a malformed packet.
