Wireshark 1.10.x < 1.10.14 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 176373

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 1.10.14. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.14 advisory.

- epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 improperly refers to previously processed bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2188.
(CVE-2015-3811)

- Multiple memory leaks in the x11_init_protocol function in epan/dissectors/packet-x11.c in the X11 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3812)

- The (1) dissect_tfs_request and (2) dissect_tfs_response functions in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c in the IEEE 802.11 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 interpret a zero value as a length rather than an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-3814)

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 1.10.14 or later.
