+ <background>
+ <p>Ettercap is a suite of tools for content filtering, sniffing and man in
+ the middle attacks on a LAN.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ettercap:</p>
+
+ <ul>
+ <li>Ettercap does not handle temporary files securely (CVE-2010-3843).</li>
+ <li>A format string flaw in Ettercap could cause a buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2010-3844).
+ </li>
+ <li>A stack-based buffer overflow exists in Ettercap (CVE-2013-0722).</li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>A remote attacker could entice a user to load a specially crafted
+ configuration file using Ettercap, possibly resulting in execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service
+ condition.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>A local attacker could perform symlink attacks to overwrite arbitrary
+ files with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All Ettercap users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-analyzer/ettercap-0.7.5.2"
+ </code>
