epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c in the TCP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not properly determine the amount of remaining data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - The ieee802154_map_rec function in     epan/dissectors/packet-ieee802154.c in the IEEE 802.15.4     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x     before 1.10.3 uses an incorrect pointer chain, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-6336)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the NBAP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-6337)

  - The dissect_sip_common function in     epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3     does not properly initialize a data structure, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-6338)

  - The dissect_openwire_type function in     epan/dissectors/packet-openwire.c in the OpenWire     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x     before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-6339)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c in the TCP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3     does not properly determine the amount of remaining     data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-6340)

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201312-13 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Wireshark has been updated to version 1.8.11 to fix bugs and security issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities was found and corrected in Wireshark :

The ieee802154_map_rec function in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee802154.c in the IEEE 802.15.4 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 uses an incorrect pointer chain, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-6336).

Unspecified vulnerability in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-6337).

The dissect_sip_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not properly initialize a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-6338).

The dissect_openwire_type function in epan/dissectors/packet-openwire.c in the OpenWire dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-6339).

epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c in the TCP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.11 and 1.10.x before 1.10.3 does not properly determine the amount of remaining data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-6340).

This advisory provides the latest version of Wireshark (1.8.11) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

fix subpackage requires Harden dumpcap capabilities

  - Ver. 1.10.3

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8.x is earlier than 1.8.11.  It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - IEEE 802.15.4 (Bug #9139)
  - NBAP (Bug #9168)
  - SIP (Bug #9228)
  - ActiveMQ OpenWire (Bug #9248)
  - TCP (Bug #9263)

The installed version of Wireshark 1.10.x is earlier than 1.10.3.  It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - IEEE 802.15.4 (Bug #9139)
  - NBAP (Bug #9168)
  - SIP (Bug #9228)
  - ActiveMQ OpenWire (Bug #9248)
  - TCP (Bug #9263)

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors for IEEE 802.15.4, NBAP, SIP and TCP, which could result in denial of service.

The oldstable distribution (squeeze) is only affected by CVE-2013-6340. This problem has been fixed in version 1.2.11-6+squeeze13.
