All,
Can anyone test with 0.9.9 to see if the attached trace causes any problems
on Linux, OpenBSD, Sun, AIX, HPUX, etc..
It has been tested to work on Windows and FreeBSD. The trace reportedly
crashed Ethereal version 0.9.7. Just attempting to verify that the crash is
resolved in version 0.9.9.
Thanks,
Greg
Well,
I tested it against verson 0.9.9 on Windows and didn't have any problems.
The packet is a NDS resolve name request with no name passed as a parameter.
This is more then likely what was causing the crash in 0.9.7. I will carbon this
to the ethereal-dev group to see if anyone can test on other OS's.
Thanks,
Greg

Again, note that I only had this problem in FreeBSD, not in linux
or
windows. I didn't test OpenBSD, Sun, AIX, HPUX, etc.
I
realize that other OS's have higher current versions, but 0.9.7 was
the
latest available via the ports collection in CVS for FreeBSD
4.7,
AFAIK. That was also the latest version listed for FreeBSD on the
main
ethereal website.
I'd be very interested in hearing the evolution
of this, so please keep
me in the loop. I'll do what I can to
assist.

Please send me a
trace of the packet that caused the crash. There have
been many changes since
0.9.7 so more then likely it has been fixed but
just in
case....
Thanks,

Hi. You
may already know this, but Ethereal/tethereal 0.9.7 crashes
on
FBSD 4.7 if
handed a fairly common fragmented NCP packet. I
checked
Ethereal/tethereal 0.9.9 on linux and windows, which did not
appear
vulnerable. I did not check Sun or OBSD. I can provide an
example
packet, if you need it.
I saw your names on the developers
list for ethereal, so I thought you
should
know.
