NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream ettercap package and not the ettercap package as distributed by Ubuntu.

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.
