Title:	Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:627
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:627. Ethereal is a powerful network traffic analyzer with an intuitive interface. This update addresses the problems listed below. All these vulnerabilities can be exploited by exposing the Ethereal program to specially created network traffic, be it by sniffing a live network or reading a capture file. The impact varies from a denial of service to arbitrary command execution with the same privileges as the user who is running Ethereal: - buffer overflow in the ISIS protocol dissector[2] - denial of service in the BGP protocol dissector[3], reported by Silvio Cesare. Ethereal can enter an infinite loop when trying to process a malformed message - several vulnerabilities[3] in the LMP, PPP and TDS protocol dissectors - format string vulnerability[4] in the SOCKS protocol dissector, reported by Georgi Guninski - buffer overflow vulnerability[4] in the NTLMSSP protocol dissector. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:627 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High
