Various problems have been fixed in the network analyzer Ethereal, most leading to crashes of the ethereal program.

  • A unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP dissector could be used to crash Ethereal. (CVE-2006-5740)

  • A single \0 byte heap overflow was fixed in the MIME multipart dissector. Potential of exploitability is unknown, but considered low. (CVE-2006-4574)

  • A denial of service problem in the XOT dissector can cause it to take up huge amount of memory and crash ethereal. (CVE-2006-4805)

  • The WBXML dissector could be used to crash ethereal.
    (CVE-2006-5469)

  • A NULL pointer dereference in the HTTP dissector could crash ethereal. (CVE-2006-5468)
