Stack-based buffer overflow in the build_expert_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc in the NCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2015-2188, CVE-2015-2189, CVE-2015-2191, CVE-2015-3810, CVE-2015-3811, CVE-2015-3812, CVE-2015-3813, CVE-2014-8710, CVE-2014-8711, CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713, CVE-2014-8714, CVE-2015-0562, CVE-2015-0563, CVE-2015-0564, CVE-2015-3182, CVE-2015-6243, CVE-2015-6244, CVE-2015-6245, CVE-2015-6246, CVE-2015-6248)

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.10.14, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

This update also fixes the following bug :

  - Prior to this update, when using the tshark utility to     capture packets over the interface, tshark failed to     create output files in the .pcap format even if it was     specified using the '-F' option. This bug has been     fixed, the '-F' option is now honored, and the result     saved in the .pcap format as expected.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement :

  - Previously, wireshark included only microseconds in the     .pcapng format. With this update, wireshark supports     nanosecond time stamp precision to allow for more     accurate time stamps.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, the Wireshark tool did not support Advanced     Encryption Standard Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM)     cryptographic algorithm. As a consequence, AES-GCM was     not decrypted. Support for AES-GCM has been added to     Wireshark, and AES-GCM is now correctly decrypted.

  - Previously, when installing the system using the     kickstart method, a dependency on the shadow-utils     packages was missing from the wireshark packages, which     could cause the installation to fail with a 'bad     scriptlet' error message. With this update, shadow-utils     are listed as required in the wireshark packages spec     file, and kickstart installation no longer fails.

  - Prior to this update, the Wireshark tool could not     decode types of elliptic curves in Datagram Transport     Layer Security (DTLS) Client Hello. Consequently,     Wireshark incorrectly displayed elliptic curves types as     data. A patch has been applied to address this bug, and     Wireshark now decodes elliptic curves types properly.

  - Previously, a dependency on the gtk2 packages was     missing from the wireshark packages. As a consequence,     the Wireshark tool failed to start under certain     circumstances due to an unresolved symbol,     'gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry', which was added in     gtk version 2.24. With this update, a dependency on gtk2     has been added, and Wireshark now always starts as     expected.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - With this update, the Wireshark tool supports process     substitution, which feeds the output of a process (or     processes) into the standard input of another process     using the '<(command_list)' syntax. When using process     substitution with large files as input, Wireshark failed     to decode such input.

  - Wireshark has been enhanced to enable capturing packets     with nanosecond time stamp precision, which allows     better analysis of recorded network traffic.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The following vulnerabilities were discovered in the Squeeze's Wireshark version :

CVE-2015-2188 The WCP dissector could crash CVE-2015-0564 Wireshark could crash while decypting TLS/SSL sessions CVE-2015-0562 The DEC DNA Routing Protocol dissector could crash CVE-2014-8714 TN5250 infinite loops CVE-2014-8713 NCP crashes CVE-2014-8712 NCP crashes CVE-2014-8711 AMQP crash CVE-2014-8710 SigComp UDVM buffer overflow CVE-2014-6432 Sniffer file parser crash CVE-2014-6431 Sniffer file parser crash CVE-2014-6430 Sniffer file parser crash CVE-2014-6429 Sniffer file parser crash CVE-2014-6428 SES dissector crash CVE-2014-6423 MEGACO dissector infinite loop CVE-2014-6422 RTP dissector crash

Since back-porting upstream patches to 1.2.11-6+squeeze15 did not fix all the outstanding issues and some issues are not even tracked publicly the LTS Team decided to sync squeeze-lts's wireshark package with wheezy-security to provide the best possible security support.

Note that upgrading Wireshark from 1.2.x to 1.8.x introduces several backward-incompatible changes in package structure, shared library API/ABI, availability of dissectors and in syntax of command line parameters.

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

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.

wireshark has been updated to version 1.10.11 to fix five security issues.

These security issues have been fixed :

  - SigComp UDVM buffer overflow. (CVE-2014-8710)

  - AMQP dissector crash. (CVE-2014-8711)

  - NCP dissector crashes. (CVE-2014-8712 / CVE-2014-8713)

  - TN5250 infinite loops (CVE-2014-8714). This non-security     issue has been fixed :

  - enable zlib (bnc#899303). Further bug fixes and updated     protocol support as listed in :

https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.10.11.html

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for SigComp UDVM, AMQP, NCP and TN5250, which could result in denial of service.

Updated wireshark packages fix security vulnerabilities :

SigComp UDVM buffer overflow (CVE-2014-8710).

AMQP crash (CVE-2014-8711).

NCP crashes (CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713).

TN5250 infinite loops (CVE-2014-8714).

The remote Windows host has a version of Wireshark installed that is 1.12.x prior to 1.12.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in following dissectors :

  - AMQP (CVE-2014-8711)
  - NCP (CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713)
  - SigComp (CVE-2014-8710)
  - TN5250 (CVE-2014-8714)

A remote attacker, using a specially crafted packet, can cause the application to crash.

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