Debian 3.0: DSA 528-1 Moderate: Ethereal Denial Of Service

Several denial of service vulnerabilities were discovered in ethereal,
a network traffic analyzer. These vulnerabilites are described in the
ethereal advisory "enpa-sa-00015". Of these, only one (CAN-2004-0635)
affects the version of ethereal in Debian woody. This vulnerability
could be exploited by a remote attacker to crash ethereal with an
invalid SNMP packet.

For the current stable distribution (woody), these problems have been
fixed in version 0.9.4-1woody8.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.10.5-1.

We recommend that you update your ethereal package.
