Discussion

Ethereal RADIUS Authentication Dissection Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A remote buffer-overflow vulnerability reportedly affects Ethereal because it fails to securely copy network-derived data into sensitive process buffers. The specific issue resides in the 3GPP2 A11 dissector.

An attacker may exploit this issue to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user that activated the vulnerable application. This may facilitate unauthorized access or privilege escalation.
