Description:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Wireshark, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerabilities are caused due to various errors (e.g. large loops with extreme memory consumption, endless loops, crashes, and buffer overflows) within the following:
* SSL, ANSI MAP, Firebird/Interbase, NCP, HTTP, MEGACO, DCP ETSI, PPP, Bluetooth SDP, SMB, USB, WiMAX, RPL, and CIP dissectors
* when processing a malformed MP3 or iSeries (OS/400) Communication trace file
* when processing a malformed DNP or RPC Portmap packet
These can be exploited to crash Wireshark or consume large amounts of system resources by e.g. parsing a specially crafted packet that is either captured off the wire or loaded via a capture file.
The vulnerabilities are reported in various versions from 0.8.16 through 0.99.6. Other versions may also be affected.
Do you have this product installed on your home computer? Scan using the free Personal Software Inspector. Check if a vulnerable version is installed on computers in your corporate network, scan using the Network Software Inspector.
Solution:
Update to version 0.99.7.
