    Vulnerability Name:

    CVE-2003-0357 (CCN-12039)

    Assigned:2003-05-01
    Published:2003-05-01
    Updated:2003-05-01
    Summary:Ethereal is vulnerable to an integer overflow in the Mount packet dissector, caused by improper usage of the tvb_get_nstringz() and tvb_get_nstringz0 functions. A remote attacker could send a specially-crafted packet to overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or cause Ethereal to crash.
