APP: Ethereal IGAP Protocol Dissector Account Overflow
This signature detects attempts to exploit a known vulnerability against Ethereal, a network analyzer application. Attackers can send a maliciously crafted IGAP Membership Query request with an overly long account name or message, to overflow the buffer and execute arbitrary code.
Extended Description
Ethereal 0.10.3 has been released to address multiple vulnerabilities. These issues include: - Thirteen stack-based buffer overruns in various protocol dissectors (NetFlow, IGAP, EIGRP, PGM, IrDA, BGP, ISUP, and TCAP). - A denial of service that is triggered by a zero length Presentation protocol selector. - Specially crafted RADIUS packets may cause a crash in Ethereal. - Corrupt color filter files may cause a crash in Ethereal. These issues may result in a denial of service or potentially be leveraged to execute arbitrary code in the instance of the buffer overruns.
