Description:
Multiple vulnerabilities have been reported in Ethereal, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or compromise a vulnerable system.
The vulnerabilities are caused due to various types of errors including NULL pointer dereference errors, format string errors, and boundary errors in a multitude of protocol dissectors.
Successful exploitation causes Ethereal to stop responding, consume a large amount of system resources, crash, or execute arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities affect versions 0.8.14 through 0.10.10.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, scan using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
Update to version 0.10.11.
