The srtp_add_address function in epan/dissectors/packet-rtp.c in the RTP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.7 does not properly update SRTP conversation data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - The srtp_add_address function in epan/dissectors/packet-rtp.c in the RTP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x     before 1.10.7 does not properly update SRTP conversation data, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-2907)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

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

  - The srtp_add_address function in     epan/dissectors/packet-rtp.c in the RTP dissector in     Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.7 does not properly update     SRTP conversation data, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     crafted packet. (CVE-2014-2907)

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-33 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

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

    A remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution or a Denial of       Service condition via a specially crafted packet.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This wireshark update to version 1.10.7 fixes the following security issue :

  - bnc#874760: Fixed RTP dissector vulnerabilities     (CVE-2014-2907).

  - Further bug fixes and updated protocol support as listed     in:
    https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.10.7     .html

The installed version of Wireshark 1.10.x is a version prior to 1.10.7. It is, therefore, affected by a denial of service vulnerability. A flaw exists with the RTP dissector when handling a malformed packet that could allow a remote attacker to crash Wireshark.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Ver. 1.10.7
