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 user's system.

1) An error within the processing of certain IKE packets can be
exploited to cause an infinite loop leading to e.g. a high resource
consumption and crashes.

2) An unspecified error related to Lua scripts can be exploited to
execute arbitrary Lua scripts via vectors similar to "DLL
hijacking".

3) An error related to an uninitialised variable within the CSN.1
dissector can be exploited to cause a crash.

Note: This vulnerability only affects versions 1.6.0 to 1.6.1.
Additionally, an error within the buffer exception handling can
result in a crash when opening a malformed packet trace file.

SOLUTION:
Update to versions 1.4.9 or 1.6.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) Penetration test team of NCNIPC (China)
2, 3) Reported by the vendor.
