15 | Synopsis |
16 | ======== |
17 | |
18 | Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark which allow |
19 | for Denial of Service. |
20 | |
21 | Background |
22 | ========== |
23 | |
24 | Wireshark is a versatile network protocol analyzer. |
25 | |
26 | Affected packages |
27 | ================= |
28 | |
29 | ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
30 | Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected |

34 | Description |
35 | =========== |
36 | |
37 | Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Wireshark: |
38 | |
39 | * A buffer overflow in the IPMI dissector related to an array index |
40 | error (CVE-2009-2559). |
41 | |
42 | * Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth L2CAP, |
43 | RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors (CVE-2009-2560). |

49 | |
50 | * An unspecified vulnerability in the Infiniband dissector when |
51 | running on unspecified platforms (CVE-2009-2563). |
52 | |
53 | Impact |
54 | ====== |
55 | |
56 | A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending |
57 | specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or |
58 | by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file to cause a |
59 | Denial of 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-1.2.1 |
