Synopsis |
16 |
======== |
17 |
|
18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark, allowing |
19 |
for the remote execution of arbitrary code, or Denial of Service. |

Background |
22 |
========== |

Description |
35 |
=========== |
36 |
|
37 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark: |
38 |
|
39 |
* Ryan Giobbi reported an integer overflow in wiretap/erf.c |
40 |
(CVE-2009-3829). |
41 |
|
42 |
* The vendor reported multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the |
43 |
Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors (CVE-2009-2560), in the |
44 |
OpcUa dissector (CVE-2009-3241), in packet.c in the GSM A RR |
45 |
dissector (CVE-2009-3242), in the TLS dissector (CVE-2009-3243), in |
46 |
the Paltalk dissector (CVE-2009-3549), in the DCERPC/NT dissector |
47 |
(CVE-2009-3550), and in the dissect_negprot_response() function in |
48 |
packet-smb.c in the SMB dissector (CVE-2009-3551). |

|
50 |
Impact |
51 |
====== |
52 |
|
53 |
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted "erf" |
54 |
file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary |
55 |
code with the privileges of the user running the application. A remote |
56 |
attacker could furthermore send specially crafted packets on a network |
57 |
being monitored by Wireshark or entice a user to open a malformed |
58 |
packet trace file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in a Denial of |
59 |
Service. |
60 |
|
61 |
Workaround |
62 |
========== |
63 |
|
64 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
65 |
|
66 |
Resolution |
67 |
========== |
68 |
|
69 |
All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version: |
70 |
|
71 |
# emerge --sync |
72 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.2.3" |
73 |
