NVD Description

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

Integer signedness error in the dissector_cvs function in dissectors/ec_cvs.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted password, which triggers a large memory allocation.
