FreeBSD Security Advisory - The ethereal port, versions prior to 0.8.14, contains buffer overflows which allow a remote attacker to crash ethereal or execute arbitrary code on the local system as the user running ethereal, typically the root user. These vulnerabilities are identical to those described in advisory 00:61 relating to tcpdump.
