Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is prior to 2.6.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-2.6.5 advisory.

- In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4, the ZigBee ZCL dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-zcl-lighting.c by preventing a divide-by-zero error. (CVE-2018-19628)

- In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.10, the dissection engine could crash. This was addressed in epan/tvbuff_composite.c by preventing a heap-based buffer over-read. (CVE-2018-19625)

- In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.10, the DCOM dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dcom.c by adding '\0' termination. (CVE-2018-19626)

- In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.10, the LBMPDM dissector could crash. In addition, a remote attacker could write arbitrary data to any memory locations before the packet-scoped memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmpdm.c by disallowing certain negative values. (CVE-2018-19623)

- In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.10, the MMSE dissector could go into an infinite loop. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-mmse.c by preventing length overflows. (CVE-2018-19622)

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

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 2.6.5 or later.
