Ettercap Project

A vulnerability has been found in Ettercap 0.8.4-Garofalo. Affected by this vulnerability is the function add_data_segment of the file src/ettercap/utils/etterfilter/ef_output.c of the component etterfilter. The manipulation leads to out-of-bounds read. Local access is required to approach this attack. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The project was informed of the problem early through an issue report but has not responded yet.Show less

The GTK version of ettercap uses a global settings file at /tmp/.ettercap_gtk and does not verify ownership of this file. When parsing this file for settings in gtkui_conf_read() (src/interfacesgtk/ec_gtk_conf.c), an unchecked sscanf() call allows a maliciously placed settings file to overflow a statically-sized buffer on the stack.Show less

The strescape function in ec_strings.c in Ettercap 0.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted filter that is mishandled by etterfilter.Show less

Integer signedness error in the dissector_cvs function in dissectors/ec_cvs.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted password, which triggers a large memory allocation.Show less

The radius_get_attribute function in dissectors/ec_radius.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.Show less

Ettercap 0.8.1 does not validate certain return values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted (1) name to the parse_line function in mdns_spoof/mdns_spoof.c or (2) base64 encoded password to the dissector_imap function in dissectors/ec_imap.c.Show less

Heap-based buffer overflow in the nbns_spoof function in plug-ins/nbns_spoof/nbns_spoof.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a large netbios packet.Show less

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.Show less

The dissector_postgresql function in dissectors/ec_postgresql.c in Ettercap before 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted password length, which triggers a 0 character to be written to an arbitrary memory location.Show less

Heap-based buffer overflow in the dissector_postgresql function in dissectors/ec_postgresql.c in Ettercap before 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted password length value that is inconsistent with the actual length of the password.Show less
