Description:
Ethereal fails to handle certain SOCKS packets correctly. This allows malicious people to create packets that cause Ethereal to crash when the packets are selected to be analyzed.
It might be possible to exploit this to execute arbitrary code, but this is difficult because the characters are escaped.
There also exists a heap overflow in the handling of NTLMSSP.
The vulnerability has been identified in versions prior to 0.9.10.
