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 1.10.11. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.10.11 advisory.- The dissect_write_structured_field function in epan/dissectors/packet-tn5250.c in the TN5250 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-8714)
- The decompress_sigcomp_message function in epan/sigcomp-udvm.c in the SigComp UDVM dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-8710)
- Multiple integer overflows in epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c in the AMQP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted amqp_0_10 PDU in a packet. (CVE-2014-8711)
- The build_expert_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc in the NCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 does not properly initialize a data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-8712)
- Stack-based buffer overflow in the build_expert_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc in the NCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 and 1.12.x before 1.12.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-8713)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
