+    <p>
+    Ethereal is a feature rich network protocol analyzer.

+  <description>
+    <p>
+    There are multiple vulnerabilities in versions of Ethereal earlier
+    than 0.10.9, including:
+    </p>
+    <ul>
+    <li>The COPS dissector could go into
+    an infinite loop (CAN-2005-0006).</li>
+    <li>The DLSw dissector could
+    cause an assertion, making Ethereal exit prematurely
+    (CAN-2005-0007).</li>
+    <li>The DNP dissector could cause memory
+    corruption (CAN-2005-0008).</li>
+    <li>The Gnutella dissector could cause
+    an assertion, making Ethereal exit prematurely (CAN-2005-0009).</li>
+    <li>The MMSE dissector could free statically-allocated memory
+    (CAN-2005-0010).</li>
+    <li>The X11 dissector is vulnerable to a string
+    buffer overflow (CAN-2005-0084).</li>
+    </ul>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    An attacker might be able to use these vulnerabilities to crash
+    Ethereal, perform DoS by CPU and disk space utilization or even execute
+    arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Ethereal, which
+    could be the root user.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    For a temporary workaround you can disable all affected protocol
+    dissectors by selecting Analyze->Enabled Protocols... and deselecting
+    them from the list. However, it is strongly recommended to upgrade to
+    the latest stable version.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All Ethereal users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=net-analyzer/ethereal-0.10.9&quot;</code>
+  </resolution>
