Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Wireshark, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise a vulnerable system.
1) An unspecified error within the SCSI protocol dissector can be exploited to crash the application.
2) Off-by-one errors exist in the IPSec ESP preference parser. Successful exploitation requires that Wireshark has been compiled with ESP decryption support.
3) Errors in the DHCP dissector and potentially other protocol dissectors can be exploited to crash Wireshark due to a bug in Glib. This only affects the Windows version.
4) An error within the Q.2391 dissector can be exploited to cause a DoS due to memory consumption.
Successful exploitation of the vulnerabilities may cause Wireshark to stop responding, consume large amounts of system memory, crash, or execute arbitrary code.
