CWE-119  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade ettercap/ettercap to version 0.8.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. The radius_get_attribute function in dissectors/ec_radius.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
