Wireshark 1.10.x < 1.10.12 Multiple Vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 363749

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 1.10.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.12 advisory.

- Buffer underflow in the ssl_decrypt_record function in epan/dissectors/packet-ssl-utils.c in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled during decryption of an SSL session.
(CVE-2015-0564)

- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in epan/dissectors/packet-dec-dnart.c in the DEC DNA Routing Protocol dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, related to the use of packet-scope memory instead of pinfo-scope memory. (CVE-2015-0562)

- epan/dissectors/packet-smtp.c in the SMTP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 uses an incorrect length value for certain string-append operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-0563)

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 1.10.12 or later.
