Name: Multiple security problems in Ethereal 0.10.3
Docid: enpa-sa-00014
Date: March 22, 2004
Versions affected: 0.9.8 up to and including 0.10.3
Impact:
It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or run arbitrary code by
injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, by convincing
someone to read a malformed packet trace file, or by creating a
malformed color filter file.
Resolution: Upgrade to 0.10.4.
If you are running a version prior to 0.10.4 and you cannot upgrade, you
can disable all of the protocol dissectors listed above by selecting
Analyze->Enabled Protocols... and deselecting them from the list.
However, it is strongly recommended that you upgrade to 0.10.4.

>How-To-Repeat:
N/A
>Fix:
I have compiled ethereal 0.10.4 with command
"make WITHOUT_SNMP=yes all" and I seem to have a working version of
ethereal 0.10.4.
