Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2013:077
http://www.mandriva.com/en/support/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : ettercap
Date : April 9, 2013
Affected: Business Server 1.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
Updated ettercap package fixes security vulnerability:
The GTK version of ettercap uses a global settings file
at /tmp/.ettercap_gtk and does not verify ownership of this
file. When parsing this file for settings in gtkui_conf_read()
(src/interfaces/gtk/ec_gtk_conf.c), an unchecked sscanf() call allows
a maliciously placed settings file to overflow a statically-sized
buffer on the stack (CVE-2010-3843).
