Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.51482
Category:Conectiva Local Security Checks
Title:Conectiva Security Advisory CLA-2003:780
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory CLA-2003:780.

Ethereal[1] is a powerful network traffic analyzer with a graphical
user interface (GUI).

This update announcement addresses several vulnerabilities[2] in
ethereal versions prior to 0.9.16. These vulnerabilities can be
exploited by an attacker who can insert crafted packets in the wire
being monitored by ethereal or make an user open a trace file with
such packets inside. Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities
can lead to denial of service conditions and/or remote execution of
arbitrary code.

The following vulnerabilities have been fixed in the 0.9.16 version:

- buffer overflow in the GTP protocol dissector (CVE-2003-0925)[3]
- denial of service with ISAKMP or MEGACO packets (CVE-2003-0926)[4]
- buffer overflow in the SOCKS protocol dissector (CVE-2003-0927)[5]


Solution:
The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades
by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade'
