Ethereal is a package designed for monitoring network traffic on your
system. Several security issues have been found in the Ethereal packages.
Multiple integer signedness errors in the BGP dissector in Ethereal
0.9.7 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(infinite loop) via malformed messages. This problem was discovered by
Silvio Cesare. CAN-2002-1355
Ethereal 0.9.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed
packets to the LMP, PPP, or TDS dissectors. CAN-2002-1356
Users of Ethereal should update to the erratum packages containing Ethereal
version 0.9.8 which is not vulnerable to these issues.
