CVE-2005-0699

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

Multiple buffer overflows in the dissect_a11_radius function in the CDMA A11 (3G-A11) dissector (packet-3g-a11.c) for Ethereal 0.10.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via RADIUS authentication packets with large length values.

Risk Assessment

The risk for the organization is the possibility of remote code execution on systems running Ethereal, potentially leading to compromise of network data confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Recommendation

It is recommended to immediately upgrade Ethereal to a version later than 0.10.9, which addresses this vulnerability. Additionally, restrict access to the network traffic analyzer to trusted sources only.
