packet-paltalk.c in the Paltalk dissector in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.2, on SPARC and certain other platforms, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a file that records a malformed packet trace.

Update of wireshark to fix multiple vulnerabilities :

  - The Paltalk dissector could crash on alignment-sensitive     processors. (CVE-2009-3549: CVSS v2 Base Score: 5.0     (MEDIUM))

  - The DCERPC/NT dissector could crash. (CVE-2009-3550:
    CVSS v2 Base Score: 4.3 (MEDIUM))

  - The SMB dissector could crash. (CVE-2009-3551: CVSS v2     Base Score: 5.0 (MEDIUM))

  - The RADIUS dissector could crash. (CVE-2009-2560: CVSS     v2 Base Score: 5.0 (MEDIUM))

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200911-05 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark:
    Ryan Giobbi reported an integer overflow in wiretap/erf.c     (CVE-2009-3829).
    The vendor reported multiple unspecified     vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors     (CVE-2009-2560), in the OpcUa dissector (CVE-2009-3241), in packet.c in     the GSM A RR dissector (CVE-2009-3242), in the TLS dissector     (CVE-2009-3243), in the Paltalk dissector (CVE-2009-3549), in the     DCERPC/NT dissector (CVE-2009-3550), and in the     dissect_negprot_response() function in packet-smb.c in the SMB     dissector (CVE-2009-3551).
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted 'erf'     file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary     code with the privileges of the user running the application. A remote     attacker could furthermore send specially crafted packets on a network     being monitored by Wireshark or entice a user to open a malformed     packet trace file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in a Denial of     Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.
