Debian: ethereal buffer overflow
Summary
Ethereal developers discovered a buffer overflow in the ISIS protocol
dissector. It may be possible to make Ethereal crash or hang by
injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire, or by
convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. It may be
possible to make Ethereal run arbitrary code by exploiting the buffer
and pointer problems.
This problem has been fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody2 for the current
stable stable distribution (woody), in version 0.8.0-4potato.1 for
the old stable distribution (potato) and in version 0.9.6-1 for the
unstable distribution (sid).
We recommend that you upgrade your ethereal packages.
wget url

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
