Description |
| 35 |
=========== |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Multiple buffer overflows and infinite loops were discovered in |
| 38 |
multiple dissector and parser components, including those for MP3 and |
| 39 |
NCP (CVE-2007-6111), PPP (CVE-2007-6112), DNP (CVE-2007-6113), SSL and |
| 40 |
iSeries (OS/400) Communication traces (CVE-2007-6114), ANSI MAP |
| 41 |
(CVE-2007-6115), Firebird/Interbase (CVE-2007-6116), HTTP |
| 42 |
(CVE-2007-6117), MEGACO (CVE-2007-6118), DCP ETSI (CVE-2007-6119), |
| 43 |
Bluetooth SDP (CVE-2007-6120), RPC Portmap (CVE-2007-6121), SMB |
| 44 |

| 45 |
RPL (CVE-2007-6450), CIP (CVE-2007-6451). The vulnerabilities were |
| 46 |

Impact |
| 50 |
====== |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network |
| 53 |
being monitored with Wireshark or entice a user to open a specially |
| 54 |
crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code |
| 55 |
with the privileges of the user running Wireshark (which might be the |
| 56 |
root user), or a Denial of Service. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
Workaround |
| 59 |
========== |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
There is no known workaround at this time. |
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
Resolution |
| 64 |
========== |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version: |
| 67 |
|
| 68 |
# emerge --sync |
| 69 |
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.7" |
| 70 |
