The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200510-25 (Ethereal: Multiple vulnerabilities in protocol dissectors)
There are numerous vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal prior to 0.10.13, including:
The SLIM3 and AgentX dissectors could overflow a buffer (CVE-2005-3243).
iDEFENSE discovered a buffer overflow in the SRVLOC dissector (CVE-2005-3184).
Multiple potential crashes in many dissectors have been fixed, see References for further details.
Furthermore an infinite loop was discovered in the IRC protocol dissector of the 0.10.13 release (CVE-2005-3313).
Impact :
An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
