-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Red Hat Security Advisory Synopsis: Updated Ethereal packages fix security issues Advisory ID: RHSA-2005:011-01 Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2005-011.html Issue date: 2005-02-02 Updated on: 2005-02-02 Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Obsoletes: RHSA-2004:378 CVE Names: CAN-2004-1139 CAN-2004-1140 CAN-2004-1141 CAN-2004-1142 CAN-2005-0007 CAN-2005-0008 CAN-2005-0009 CAN-2005-0010 CAN-2005-0084 - --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Summary: 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 Desktop version 3 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 3 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: Ethereal 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. A flaw in the DICOM dissector could cause a crash. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2004-1139 to this issue. A invalid RTP timestamp could hang Ethereal and create a large temporary file, possibly filling available disk space. (CAN-2004-1140) The HTTP dissector could access previously-freed memory, causing a crash. (CAN-2004-1141) An improperly formatted SMB packet could make Ethereal hang, maximizing CPU utilization. (CAN-2004-1142) The COPS dissector could go into an infinite loop. (CAN-2005-0006) The DLSw dissector could cause an assertion, making Ethereal exit prematurely. (CAN-2005-0007) The DNP dissector could cause memory corruption. (CAN-2005-0008) The Gnutella dissector could cause an assertion, making Ethereal exit prematurely. (CAN-2005-0009) The MMSE dissector could free static memory, causing a crash. (CAN-2005-0010) The X11 protocol dissector is vulnerable to a string buffer overflow. (CAN-2005-0084) Users of Ethereal should upgrade to these updated packages which contain version 0.10.9 that is 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 For information on how to install packages manually, refer to the following Web page for the System Administration or Customization guide specific to your system: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/ 5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 142952 - CAN-2004-1139 Ethereal flaws (CAN-2004-1140 CAN-2004-1141 CAN-2004-1142) 145481 - CAN-2005-0006 multiple ethereal issues (CAN-2005-0007 CAN-2005-0008 CAN-2005-0009 CAN-2005-0010 CAN-2005-0084) 6.
