    Coverity discovered numerous vulnerabilities in versions of
    Ethereal prior to 0.99.0, including:
    buffer overflows in the ALCAP (CVE-2006-1934), COPS (CVE-2006-1935)
    and telnet (CVE-2006-1936) dissectors.
    buffer overflows
    in the NetXray/Windows Sniffer and Network Instruments file code
    (CVE-2006-1934).
    For further details please consult the
    references below.
  
Impact :

    An attacker might be able to exploit these vulnerabilities to crash
    Ethereal or execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the user
    running Ethereal, which could be the root user.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
