Synopsis |
| 16 |
======== |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark, allowing |
| 19 |
for the remote execution of arbitrary code, or Denial of Service. |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
Background |
| 22 |
========== |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Wireshark is a versatile network protocol analyzer. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |

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). |
| 49 |
|
| 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 |
