{"id":"UBUNTU-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a statically-sized buffer on the stack.","modified":"2025-07-16T07:16:58.376243Z","published":"2021-05-28T13:15:00Z","withdrawn":"2025-07-18T16:42:40Z","upstream":["CVE-2010-3843"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2010-3843"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2010-3843"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"ettercap","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/ettercap@1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3?arch=source&distro=trusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3"}]}],"versions":["1:0.7.6-1","1:0.8.0-6","1:0.8.0-11","1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-common"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-common-dbgsym"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-dbg"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-graphical"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-graphical-dbgsym"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-text-only"},{"binary_version":"1:0.8.0-11ubuntu0.3","binary_name":"ettercap-text-only-dbgsym"}],"availability":"No subscription required"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2010/UBUNTU-CVE-2010-3843.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"low"}]}
