Synopsis

An application installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS or Mac OS X host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.13 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.7. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the dissect_msnip() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-msnip.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9343)

- A divide-by-zero error exists in the dissect_connparamrequest() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-btl2cap.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9344)

- An infinite loop condition exists in the expand_dns_name() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-dns.c when handling packets or packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9345)

- An infinite loop condition exists in the dissect_slsk_pdu() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-slsk.c when handling packets or packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9346)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the ros_try_string() function within file epan/dissectors/asn1/ros/packet-ros-template.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input passed as an OID string. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. This issue only affects version 2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9347)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the OALMarshal_UncompressValue() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-dof.c when handling Distributed Object Framework (DOF) packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. This issue only affects version 2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9348)

- An infinite loop condition exists in the dissect_dcm_pdu_data() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-dcm.c when handling packets or packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9349)

- A memory allocation issue exists in the dissect_opensafety_ssdo_message() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9350)

- An out-of-bounds read error exists in the bootp_option() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-bootp.c when handling vendor class identifier strings in bootp packets due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9351)

- An infinite loop condition exists in the get_bzr_pdu_len() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-bzr.c when handling packets or packet trace files. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to consume excessive CPU resources, resulting in a denial of service condition.
(CVE-2017-9352)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the dissect_routing6_rpl() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-ipv6.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. This issue only affects version 2.2.x. (CVE-2017-9353)

- A NULL pointer dereference flaw exists in the dissect_rgmp() function within file epan/dissectors/packet-rgmp.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a denial of service condition. (CVE-2017-9354)

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

Solution
