CVE-2002-0821

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: Ethereal versions 0.9.4 and earlier

Description: The issue is related to buffer overflows that can be triggered by remote attackers, potentially leading to a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. This can occur via the BGP dissector or the WCP dissector.

Recommendations: For Ethereal versions 0.9.4 and earlier, consider disabling the BGP and WCP dissectors as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to these dissectors to minimize the risk of exploitation.
