Synopsis

An application installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is prior to 1.10.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.1 advisory.

- The IsDFP_Frame function in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rt.c in the PROFINET Real-Time dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not validate MAC addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4936)

- The parseFields function in epan/dissectors/packet-dis-pdus.c in the DIS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not terminate packet-data processing after finding zero remaining bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-4929)

- The dissect_pft function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16, 1.8.x before 1.8.8, and 1.10.0 does not validate a certain fragment length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-4083)

- The P1 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly initialize a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-4920)

- Off-by-one error in the dissect_radiotap function in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211-radiotap.c in the Radiotap dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-4921)

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 1.10.1 or later.
