Ettercap is prone to an overflow condition. The 'gtkui_conf_read()' function in 'src/interfaces/gtk/ec_gtk_conf.c' fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a stack-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted 'sscanf()' call, a local attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
