                  Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
  _______________________________________________________________________

  Package name:           ethereal
  Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2004:152
  Date:                   December 20th, 2004

  Affected versions:	 10.0, 10.1
  ______________________________________________________________________

  Problem Description:

  A number of vulnerabilities were discovered in Ethereal:

  - Matthew Bing discovered a bug in DICOM dissection that could make
    Ethereal crash (CAN-2004-1139)
  - An invalid RTP timestamp could make Ethereal hang and create a large
    temporary file, possibly filling available disk space (CAN-2004-1140)
  - The HTTP dissector could access previously-freed memory, causing a
    crash (CAN-2004-1141)
  - Brian Caswell discovered that an improperly formatted SMB packet
    could make Ethereal hang, maximizing CPU utilization (CAN-2004-1142)

  Ethereal 0.10.8 was released to correct these problems and is being
  provided.
