Wireshark 1.12.x < 1.12.2 Multiple DoS Vulnerabilities

medium Nessus Plugin ID 79252

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

The remote Windows host has a version of Wireshark installed that is 1.12.x prior to 1.12.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in following dissectors :

- AMQP (CVE-2014-8711)
- NCP (CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713)
- SigComp (CVE-2014-8710)
- TN5250 (CVE-2014-8714)

A remote attacker, using a specially crafted packet, can cause the application to crash.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 1.12.2 or later.
