Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Ethereal up to 0.10.9 (Packet Analyzer Software) and classified as critical. Affected by this issue is the function dissect_a11_radius of the file packet-3g-a11.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. Impacted is confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Multiple buffer overflows in the dissect_a11_radius function in the CDMA A11 (3G-A11) dissector (packet-3g-a11.c) for Ethereal 0.10.9 and earlier allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via RADIUS authentication packets with large length values.
