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 1.12.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the wireshark-1.12.3 advisory.- Buffer underflow in the ssl_decrypt_record function in epan/dissectors/packet-ssl-utils.c in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet that is improperly handled during decryption of an SSL session.
(CVE-2015-0564)
- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, related to the use of packet-scope memory instead of pinfo-scope memory. (CVE-2015-0559)
- The dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info function in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 does not initialize certain data structures, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
(CVE-2015-0560)
- asn1/lpp/lpp.cnf in the LPP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 does not validate a certain index value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2015-0561)
- Multiple use-after-free vulnerabilities in epan/dissectors/packet-dec-dnart.c in the DEC DNA Routing Protocol dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, related to the use of packet-scope memory instead of pinfo-scope memory. (CVE-2015-0562)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
