epan/proto.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.4 does not properly handle integer data types greater than 32 bits in size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled by the LLDP dissector.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201510-03 (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 cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Wireshark was updated to 1.10.13 on openSUSE 13.1 to fix bugs and security issues. Wireshark was updated to 1.12.4 on openSUSE 13.2 to fix bugs and security issues.

The following security issues were fixed in 1.10.13 :

  - The WCP dissector could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-07     CVE-2015-2188 [bnc#920696]

  - The pcapng file parser could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-08     CVE-2015-2189 [bnc#920697]

  - The TNEF dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    wnpa-sec-2015-10 CVE-2015-2191 [bnc#920699]

The following security issues were fixed in 1.12.4 :

  - The following security issues were fixed :

  - The ATN-CPDLC dissector could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-06     CVE-2015-2187 [bnc#920695]

  - The WCP dissector could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-07     CVE-2015-2188 [bnc#920696]

  - The pcapng file parser could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-08     CVE-2015-2189 [bnc#920697]

  - The LLDP dissector could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-09     CVE-2015-2190 [bnc#920698]

  - The TNEF dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    wnpa-sec-2015-10 CVE-2015-2191 [bnc#920699]

  - The SCSI OSD dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    wnpa-sec-2015-11 CVE-2015-2192 [bnc#920700]

The version of Wireshark installed remote Windows host is 1.10.x prior to 1.10.13, or 1.12.x prior to 1.12.4. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following items :

    - ATN-CPDLC dissector (CVE-2015-2187)
    - WCP dissector (CVE-2015-2188)
    - pcapng file parser (CVE-2015-2189)
    - LLDP dissector (CVE-2015-2190)
    - TNEF dissector (CVE-2015-2191)
    - SCSI OSD dissector (CVE-2015-2192)

A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause Wireshark to crash or consume excessive CPU resources, either by injecting a specially crafted packet onto the wire or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace or PCAP file.

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