RHSA-2004:136-01: Updated Ethereal packages fix security issues

Posted by Philipp Esselbach on: 03/30/2004 03:14 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Red Hat has released updated Ethereal packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Red Hat Security Advisory

Synopsis: Updated Ethereal packages fix security issues
Advisory ID: RHSA-2004:136-01
Issue date: 2004-03-30
Updated on: 2004-03-30
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Keywords:
Cross references:
Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:002
CVE Names: CAN-2004-0176 CAN-2004-0365 CAN-2004-0367
----------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Topic:

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
Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Ethereal is a program for monitoring network traffic.

Stefan Esser reported that Ethereal versions 0.10.1 and earlier contain stack overflows in the IGRP, PGM, Metflow, ISUP, TCAP, or IGAP dissectors. On a system where Ethereal is being run a remote attacker could send malicious packets that could cause Ethereal to crash or execute arbitrary code. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0176 to this issue.

Jonathan Heussser discovered that a carefully-crafted RADIUS packet could cause a crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0365 to this issue.

Ethereal 0.8.13 to 0.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a zero-length Presentation protocol selector. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-0367 to this issue.

Users of Ethereal should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a version of Ethereal that is not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

Please note that this update is available via Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red Hat Update Agent with the following command:

up2date

This will start an interactive process that will result in the appropriate RPMs being upgraded on your system.

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla for more info):

118143 - CAN-2004-0176 Ethereal dissector overflows
