- Summary
- [none]
- Details
-
The GTK version of ettercap uses a global settings file at /tmp/.ettercapgtk and does not verify ownership of this file. When parsing this file for settings in gtkuiconfread() (src/interfacesgtk/ecgtk_conf.c), an unchecked sscanf() call allows a maliciously placed settings file to overflow a statically-sized buffer on the stack.
