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 1.8.10. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.8.10 advisory.- Unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-5722)
- Buffer overflow in the RTPS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5720)
- The dissect_nbap_T_dCH_ID function in epan/dissectors/packet-nbap.c in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not restrict the dch_id value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5718)
- epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the ASSA R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2013-5719)
- The dissect_mq_rr function in epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c in the MQ dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not properly determine when to enter a certain loop, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5721)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
