TITLE:
Wireshark Multiple Protocol Dissector Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA21078

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/21078/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
DoS, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.x
http://secunia.com/product/1228/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Wireshark, which can be
exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) or
compromise a vulnerable system.

The vulnerabilities are caused due to various types of errors
including boundary errors, format string errors, off-by-one errors,
an infinite loop error, and a memory allocation problem in a
multitude of protocol dissectors.

Successful exploitation causes Wireshark to stop responding, consume
a large amount of system resources, crash, or execute arbitrary code.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 0.99.2.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
The vendor credits Ilja van Sprundel for reporting some of the
vulnerabilities.
