Title: Ethereal IRC Protocol Dissector Denial of Service Vulnerability
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
The Ethereal IRC protocol dissector is prone to a remotely exploitable denial-of-service vulnerability.
Reportedly, the IRC protocol dissector may enter into an infinite loop when reading a malformed packet.
An attacker may exploit this issue by causing Ethereal to process a malformed packet. Successful exploitation will cause a denial-of-service condition in the Ethereal application.
Further details are not currently available. This BID will be updated as more information is disclosed.
