The SMB PIPE dissector in Wireshark 0.8.20 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unknown vectors.

Wireshark version 1.4.2 fixes several security issues that allowed attackers to crash wireshark or potentially even execute arbitrary code

(CVE-2010-1455, CVE-2010-2283, CVE-2010-2284, CVE-2010-2285, CVE-2010-2286, CVE-2010-2287, CVE-2010-2992, CVE-2010-2993, CVE-2010-2994, CVE-2010-2995, CVE-2010-3445, CVE-2010-4300, CVE-2010-4301)

Wireshark was updated to version 1.4.4 to fix several security issues.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201110-02 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network       being monitored by Wireshark, entice a user to open a malformed packet       trace file using Wireshark, or deploy a specially crafted Lua script for       use by Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code,       or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Wireshark was updated to version 1.4.4 to fix several security issues

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version(s), fixing several security issues :

The SMB dissector in Wireshark 0.99.6 through 1.0.13, and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unknown vectors (CVE-2010-2283).

Buffer overflow in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 0.10.13 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors (CVE-2010-2284).

The SMB PIPE dissector in Wireshark 0.8.20 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) via unknown vectors (CVE-2010-2285).

The SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine dissector in Wireshark 0.10.7 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via unknown vectors (CVE-2010-2286).

Buffer overflow in the SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine dissector in Wireshark 0.10.8 through 1.0.13 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.8 has unknown impact and remote attack vectors (CVE-2010-2287).

Several remote vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Wireshark network traffic analyzer. It was discovered that NULL pointer dereferences, buffer overflows and infinite loops in the SMB, SMB PIPE, ASN1.1 and SigComp dissectors could lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

The installed version of Wireshark or Ethereal is potentially affected by multiple vulnerabilities. 

 - The SMB dissector can be affected by a NULL pointer    dereference. (Bug 4734)

 - The ANS.1 BER dissector can be affected by a buffer    overflow.

 - The SMB PIPE dissector can be affected by a NULL pointer    dereference on some platforms.

 - The SigComp Universal Decompressor Virtual Machine can    be affected by an infinite loop or a buffer overflow.
