DESCRIPTION:
Multiple 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) Errors in the Bluetooth HCI, CSN.1, DCP-ETSI DOCSIS CM-STAUS, IEEE
802.3 Slow Protocols, MPLS, R3, RTPS, SDP, and SIP dissectors can be
exploited to trigger infinite loops and consume CPU resources via
specially crafted packets.
2) An error in the CLNP dissector when processing certain packets can
be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
3) An error in the DTN dissector when processing certain packets can
be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
4) An error in the MS-MMC dissector when processing certain packets
can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
5) An error in the DTLS dissector when processing certain packets can
be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
6) An error in the ROHC dissector when processing certain packets can
be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
7) An error in the DCP-ETSI dissector when processing certain packets
can be exploited to cause a memory corruption via a specially crafted
packet.
8) An error in the dissection engine when processing certain packets
can be exploited to cause a crash via a specially crafted packet.
9) An error in the NTLMSSP dissector when processing certain packets
can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow via a specially crafted
packet.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may allow execution of
arbitrary code.
The vulnerabilities are reported in versions prior to 1.8.5 and
1.6.13.
SOLUTION:
Update to version 1.8.5 or 1.6.13.
