CVE-2002-0822

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

Description: The issue allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via the (1) SOCKS, (2) RSVP, (3) AFS, or (4) LMP dissectors, which can be caused to core dump.

Recommendations: For Ethereal versions 0.9.4 and earlier, consider disabling the dissectors for SOCKS, RSVP, AFS, and LMP as a temporary workaround until a patch is available. Restrict access to these dissectors to minimize the risk of exploitation. At the moment, there is no information about a newer version that contains a fix for this vulnerability.
