AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:N/I:N/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Ethereal versions 0.8.20 through 0.10.11

Description The issue is related to unknown vulnerabilities in certain dissectors, which can cause a denial of service. This happens when the application encounters specific packets that lead to a null pointer dereference, resulting in an application crash.

Recommendations For Ethereal versions 0.8.20 through 0.10.11, consider updating to a version where these issues are fixed, if available. As a temporary workaround, restrict the use of the GIOP, WBXML, and CAMEL dissectors to minimize the risk of exploitation.
