{"vuid":"VU#740188","idnumber":"740188","name":"Ethereal IrDA dissector plugin fails to properly parse IRCOM_PORT_NAME parameter","keywords":["Ethereal","buffer overflow","IrDA dissector plugin","IRCOM_PORT_NAME","long string of characters"],"overview":"Ethereal contains a vulnerability in the way the Infrared Data Association (IrDA) dissector plugin parses the IRCOM_PORT_NAME parameter.","clean_desc":"Ethereal is a network traffic analysis package. It includes the ability to decode packets containing IrDA data. There is a vulnerability in the way the IrDA dissector plugin decodes the IRCOM_PORT_NAME parameter. By sending an IrDA packet containing an overly long portname, a remote unauthenticated attacker could cause Ethereal to crash or potentially execute code of the attacker's choice.","impact":"A remote, unauthenticated attacker could cause Ethereal to crash or potentially execute code of the attacker's choice.","resolution":"Upgrade\nUpgrade to version 0.10.3 or later. Note: Ethereal is considered BETA software at this time.","workarounds":"","sysaffected":"","thanks":"Ethereal credits Stefan Esser for reporting this vulnerability.","author":"This document was written by Damon Morda.","public":["http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/032004.html","http://www.ethereal.com/appnotes/enpa-sa-00013.html","http://secunia.com/advisories/11185/","http://www.irda.org/"],"cveids":["CVE-2004-0176"],"certadvisory":"","uscerttechnicalalert":null,"datecreated":"2004-03-24T14:20:32Z","publicdate":"2004-03-22T00:00:00Z","datefirstpublished":"2004-03-25T14:39:00Z","dateupdated":"2004-04-06T17:33:49Z","revision":12,"vrda_d1_directreport":"","vrda_d1_population":"","vrda_d1_impact":"","cam_widelyknown":"15","cam_exploitation":"0","cam_internetinfrastructure":"7","cam_population":"7","cam_impact":"7","cam_easeofexploitation":"10","cam_attackeraccessrequired":"20","cam_scorecurrent":"4.0425","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknown":"4.96125","cam_scorecurrentwidelyknownexploited":"8.63625","ipprotocol":"","cvss_accessvector":"","cvss_accesscomplexity":"","cvss_authentication":null,"cvss_confidentialityimpact":"","cvss_integrityimpact":"","cvss_availabilityimpact":"","cvss_exploitablity":null,"cvss_remediationlevel":"","cvss_reportconfidence":"","cvss_collateraldamagepotential":"","cvss_targetdistribution":"","cvss_securityrequirementscr":"","cvss_securityrequirementsir":"","cvss_securityrequirementsar":"","cvss_basescore":"","cvss_basevector":"","cvss_temporalscore":"","cvss_environmentalscore":"","cvss_environmentalvector":"","metric":4.0425,"vulnote":null}
