In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.4 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.10, there is an LDSS dissector crash, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c by ensuring that memory is allocated for a certain data structure.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.0.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.0.11 advisory.

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.4 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.10, there is an IAX2 infinite loop, triggered by packet     injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-iax2.c by constraining     packet lateness. (CVE-2017-6470)

  - In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.4 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.10, there is a NetScaler file parser infinite loop, triggered     by a malformed capture file. This was addressed in wiretap/netscaler.c by validating record sizes.

It was discovered that wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors for ASTERIX, DHCPv6, NetScaler, LDSS, IAX2, WSP, K12 and STANAG 4607, that could lead to various crashes, denial-of-service or execution of arbitrary code.

It was discovered that Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors for ASTERIX, DHCPv6, LDSS, IAX2, WSP and RTMPT and the NetScaler and K12 file parsers, that could lead to various crashes, denial of service, or execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
