3. Problem description:

The ethereal package is a program for monitoring network traffic.

A number of security flaws have been discovered in Ethereal. On a system where Ethereal is running, a remote attacker could send malicious packets to trigger these flaws and cause Ethereal to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the Etheric dissector. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0704 to this issue.

The GPRS-LLC dissector could crash if the "ignore cipher bit" option was set. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0705 to this issue.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the 3GPP2 A11 dissector. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0699 to this issue.

A buffer overflow flaw was discovered in the IAPP dissector. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2005-0739 to this issue.

Users of ethereal should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain version 0.10.10 and are not vulnerable to these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. Use Red Hat Network to download and update your packages. To launch the Red Hat Update Agent, use the following command:

up2date
