Package        : ethereal
Vulnerability  : buffer overflows
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0176 

Several buffer overflow vulnerabilities were discovered in ethereal, a
network traffic analyzer.  These vulnerabilites are described in the
ethereal advisory "enpa-sa-00013".  Of these, only some parts of
CAN-2004-0176 affect the version of ethereal in Debian woody.
CAN-2004-0367 and CAN-2004-0365 are not applicable to this version.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody7.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.10.3-1.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package.
