Description

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2007-0710 advisory.

 - Wireshark before 0.99.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted chunked encoding in an HTTP response, possibly related to a zero-length payload. (CVE-2007-3389)

 - Wireshark 0.99.5 and 0.10.x up to 0.10.14, when running on certain systems, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted iSeries capture files that trigger a SIGTRAP.
 (CVE-2007-3390)

 - Wireshark 0.99.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a malformed DCP ETSI packet that triggers an infinite loop. (CVE-2007-3391)

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