Rule:

overflow attempt"; ip_proto:2; byte_test:1,>,63,0; byte_test:1,<,67,0;

--
Sid:
2462
--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a buffer overflow
associated with the Ethereal decode of the Internet Group membership Authentication
Protocol (IGAP).
--
Impact:
A successful attack may allow the execution of arbitrary code as root or
LOCAL_SYSTEM privilege on a vulnerable host.
--
Detailed Information:
There is a vulnerability associated with particular versions of Ethereal that
may cause a buffer overflow when a malformed IGAP packet is decoded using Ethereal
or tethereal. This may permit the execution of arbitrary code with root or
LOCAL_SYSTEM privilege. The buffer overflow occurs when a larger than expected
User Account Size value is discovered in the IGAP payload.
--
Affected Systems:
Any host running Ethereal/tethereal versions 0.10.0 - 0.10.2.
--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can create and send a malformed IGAP packet, and if decoded by
a vulnerable version of Ethereal/tethereal, can cause a buffer overflow and the
subsequent execution of arbitrary code.
--
Ease of Attack:
Simple. Exploit code is available.
--
False Positives:
None known.
--
False Negatives:
None known.
--
Corrective Action:
Update to version 0.10.3 of Ethereal.
