{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2010-3843","details":"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/interfacesgtk/ec_gtk_conf.c), an unchecked sscanf() call allows a maliciously placed settings file to overflow a statically-sized buffer on the stack.","modified":"2026-09-18T07:00:46.318448194Z","published":"2021-05-28T13:15:07.283Z","upstream":["CVE-2010-3843"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2010-3843"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ettercap","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/ettercap?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:0.7.4-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2010-3843.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ettercap","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/ettercap?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:0.7.4-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2010-3843.json"}},{"package":{"name":"ettercap","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/ettercap?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:0.7.4-1"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"unimportant"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2010-3843.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"}]}
