CVE-2014-9379: Ettercap-Project Ettercap

High severity, CVSS 7.5. EPSS: 4% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The radius_get_attribute function in dissectors/ec_radius.c in Ettercap 0.8.1 performs an incorrect cast, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, which triggers a stack-based buffer overflow.
