Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as critical, was found in Ettercap 0.8.1 (Packet Analyzer Software). Affected is the function dissector_TN3270 of the component Dissector. The manipulation of the argument size with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as 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. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVE summarizes:

Integer underflow in Ettercap 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a small (1) size variable value in the dissector_dhcp function in dissectors/ec_dhcp.c, (2) length value to the dissector_gg function in dissectors/ec_gg.c, or (3) string length to the get_decode_len function in ec_utils.c or a request without a (4) username or (5) password to the dissector_TN3270 function in dissectors/ec_TN3270.c.
