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 1.10.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.4 advisory.- wiretap/libpcap.c in the libpcap file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted packet-trace file that includes a large packet. (CVE-2014-4174)
- The dissect_sip_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 does not check for empty lines, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-7112)
- epan/dissectors/packet-bssgp.c in the BSSGP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.4 incorrectly relies on a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-7113)
- Multiple buffer overflows in the create_ntlmssp_v2_key function in epan/dissectors/packet-ntlmssp.c in the NTLMSSP v2 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long domain name in a packet. (CVE-2013-7114)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
