Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2008-457:01 advisory.

 Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal.
 Fixed bugs:

 CVE-2008-3145 The fragment_add_work function in epan/reassemble.c in Wireshark 0.8.19 through 1.0.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a series of fragmented packets with non-sequential fragmentation offset values, which lead to a buffer over-read.
 CVE-2008-3146 Multiple buffer overflows in packet_ncp2222.inc in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.9.7 through 1.0.2 allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted NCP packet that causes an invalid pointer to be used.
 CVE-2008-3932 Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.9.7 through 1.0.2 allows attackers to cause a denial of service (hang) via a crafted NCP packet that triggers an infinite loop.

 CVE-2007-6439 Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite or large loop) via the (1) IPv6 or (2) USB dissector, which can trigger resource consumption or a crash.
 NOTE: this identifier originally included Firebird/Interbase, but it is already covered by CVE-2007-6116.
 The DCP ETSI issue is already covered by CVE-2007-6119.
 CVE-2007-6438 Unspecified vulnerability in the SMB dissector in Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.99.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via unknown vectors. NOTE: this identifier originally included MP3 and NCP, but those issues are already covered by CVE-2007-6111.
 CVE-2007-6121 Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) 0.8.16 to 0.99.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a malformed RPC Portmap packet.
