The SMB dissector in Ethereal before 0.10.0 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a malformed SMB packet that triggers a segmentation fault during processing of Selected packets.
The Q.931 dissector in Ethereal before 0.10.0, and Tethereal, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed Q.931, which triggers a null dereference.
Heap-based buffer overflow in Ethereal 0.9.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via the SOCKS dissector.
Buffer overflow in Ethereal 0.9.15 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a malformed GTP MSISDN string.
Ethereal 0.9.15 and earlier, and Tethereal, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via certain malformed (1) ISAKMP or (2) MEGACO packets.
The tvbgetnstringz0 function in Ethereal 0.9.12 and earlier does not properly handle a zero-length buffer size, with unknown consequences.
Unknown vulnerability in the DCERPC (DCE/RPC) dissector in Ethereal 0.9.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a certain NDR string.
The SPNEGO dissector in Ethereal 0.9.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via an invalid ASN.1 value.
The OSI dissector in Ethereal 0.9.12 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via invalid IPv4 or IPv6 prefix lengths, possibly triggering a buffer overflow.
Ethereal 0.9.12 and earlier does not handle certain strings properly, with unknown consequences, in the (1) BGP, (2) WTP, (3) DNS, (4) 802.11, (5) ISAKMP, (6) WSP, (7) CLNP, (8) ISIS, and (9) RMI dissectors.
Multiple off-by-one vulnerabilities in Ethereal 0.9.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) AIM, (2) GIOP Gryphon, (3) OSPF, (4) PPTP, (5) Quake, (6) Quake2, (7) Quake3, (8) Rsync, (9) SMB, (10) SMPP, and (11) TSP dissectors, which do not properly use the tvbgetnstringz and tvbgetnstringz0 functions.
Multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in Ethereal 0.9.11 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) Mount and (2) PPP dissectors.
Heap-based buffer overflow in the NTLMSSP code for Ethereal 0.9.9 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code.
Format string vulnerability in packet-socks.c of the SOCKS dissector for Ethereal 0.8.7 through 0.9.9 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via SOCKS packets containing format string specifiers.
tcpdump, Ethereal, and other sniffer packages allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed DNS packets in which a jump offset refers to itself, which causes tcpdump to enter an infinite loop while decompressing the packet.
Ethereal allows local users to overwrite arbitrary files via a symlink attack on the packet capture file.
The DOCSIS dissector in Wireshark 0.9.6 through 1.0.12 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet trace file.
Ethereal 0.10.10 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted RSVP packet of length 4.
Multiple buffer overflows in AFS ACL parser for Ethereal 0.8.13 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a packet with a long username.
Ethereal 0.9.7 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed packets to the (1) LMP, (2) PPP, or (3) TDS dissectors, possibly related to a missing field for EndVerifyAck messages.
Multiple integer signedness errors in the BGP dissector in Ethereal 0.9.7 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via malformed messages.
Ethereal 0.9.4 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly excecute arbitrary code via the (1) SOCKS, (2) RSVP, (3) AFS, or (4) LMP dissectors, which can be caused to core dump.
Buffer overflow in the ISIS dissector for Ethereal 0.9.5 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via malformed packets.
Buffer overflows in Ethereal 0.9.4 and earlier allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via (1) the BGP dissector, or (2) the WCP dissector.
DNS dissector in Ethereal before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (CPU consumption) via a malformed packet that causes Ethereal to enter an infinite loop.
The ASN.1 parser in Ethereal 0.9.2 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a certain malformed packet, which causes Ethereal to allocate memory incorrectly, possibly due to zero-length fields.
Buffer overflow in X11 dissector in Ethereal 0.9.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code while Ethereal is parsing keysyms.
Vulnerability in GIOP dissector in Ethereal before 0.9.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption).
SMB dissector in Ethereal 0.9.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via malformed packets that cause Ethereal to dereference a NULL pointer.
