The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2013:1569 advisory.

    Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer.
    It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

    Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off     a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly,     execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2013-3559,     CVE-2013-4083)

    Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could     crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or     opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2012-2392, CVE-2012-3825, CVE-2012-4285,     CVE-2012-4288, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291, CVE-2012-4292,     CVE-2012-5595, CVE-2012-5597, CVE-2012-5598, CVE-2012-5599, CVE-2012-5600,     CVE-2012-6056, CVE-2012-6059, CVE-2012-6060, CVE-2012-6061, CVE-2012-6062,     CVE-2013-3557, CVE-2013-3561, CVE-2013-4081, CVE-2013-4927, CVE-2013-4931,     CVE-2013-4932, CVE-2013-4933, CVE-2013-4934, CVE-2013-4935, CVE-2013-4936,     CVE-2013-5721)

    The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.10, which     provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions.
    For more information on the bugs fixed, enhancements included, and     supported protocols introduced, refer to the Wireshark Release Notes,     linked to in the References. (BZ#711024)

    This update also fixes the following bugs:

    * Previously, Wireshark did not parse the RECLAIM-COMPLETE opcode when     inspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1. A patch has been provided to     enable the parsing of the RECLAIM_COMPLETE opcode, and Wireshark is now     able to properly dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic. (BZ#750712)

    * Prior to this update, frame arrival times in a text file were reported     one hour ahead from the timestamps in the packet capture file.
    This resulted in various failures being reported by the dfilter-test.py     test suite. To fix this bug, frame arrival timestamps have been shifted by     one hour, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#832021)

    * The tshark -D command returned output to STDERR instead of STDOUT,     which could break scripts that are parsing the tshark -D output. This bug     has been fixed, and the tshark -D command now writes output data to a     correct standard stream. (BZ#1004636)

    * Due to an array overrun, Wireshark could experience undefined program     behavior or could unexpectedly terminate. With this update, proper array     handling ensures Wireshark no longer crashes in the described scenario.
    (BZ#715560)

    * Previously, the dftest and randpkt command line utilities lacked manual     pages. This update adds proper manual pages for both utilities. (BZ#659661)

    In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:

    * With this update, Wireshark is able to properly dissect and handle     InfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic. (BZ#699636, BZ#858976)

    All Wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which     contain backported patches to correct these issues and add these     enhancements. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the     update to take effect.

     CVE-2013-4934     The netmon_open function in wiretap/netmon.c in the Netmon file parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and     1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not initialize certain structure members, which allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet-trace file.
     CVE-2013-4935     The dissect_per_length_determinant function in epan/dissectors/packet-per.c in the ASN.1 PER dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.9 and 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not initialize a length field in certain     abnormal situations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     crafted packet.
     CVE-2013-4936     The IsDFP_Frame function in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rt.c in the PROFINET Real-Time dissector in     Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not validate MAC addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet.
     CVE-2013-5721     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.
    Fixed bugs:
     Wireshark now support parsing the RECLAIM-COMPLETE opcode when inspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1     and as such can now dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic.
     Previously, the dfilter-test.py test suite reported many failures because the frame arrival times in a     text file were reported one hour ahead from the timestamps in the packet capture file; this has been     fixed.
     Previously, the tshark -D command returned output to STDERR instead of STDOUT. This could break scripts     parsing the tshark -D output and has been fixed: tshark -D now outputs to STDOUT.
     Fixed an array overrun that could make wireshark crash.
     Added the manual pages for the dftest and randpkt commands.
    Enhancements:
     Added support for InfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic.

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.
(CVE-2013-3559, CVE-2013-4083)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2012-2392, CVE-2012-3825, CVE-2012-4285, CVE-2012-4288, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291, CVE-2012-4292, CVE-2012-5595, CVE-2012-5597, CVE-2012-5598, CVE-2012-5599, CVE-2012-5600, CVE-2012-6056, CVE-2012-6059, CVE-2012-6060, CVE-2012-6061, CVE-2012-6062, CVE-2013-3557, CVE-2013-3561, CVE-2013-4081, CVE-2013-4927, CVE-2013-4931, CVE-2013-4932, CVE-2013-4933, CVE-2013-4934, CVE-2013-4935, CVE-2013-4936, CVE-2013-5721)

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.10, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. For more information on the bugs fixed, enhancements included, and supported protocols introduced, refer to the Wireshark Release Notes.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, Wireshark did not parse the RECLAIM-COMPLETE     opcode when inspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1. A     patch has been provided to enable the parsing of the     RECLAIM_COMPLETE opcode, and Wireshark is now able to     properly dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic.

  - Prior to this update, frame arrival times in a text file     were reported one hour ahead from the timestamps in the     packet capture file. This resulted in various failures     being reported by the dfilter-test.py test suite. To fix     this bug, frame arrival timestamps have been shifted by     one hour, thus fixing this bug.

  - The 'tshark -D' command returned output to STDERR     instead of STDOUT, which could break scripts that are     parsing the 'tshark -D' output. This bug has been fixed,     and the 'tshark -D' command now writes output data to a     correct standard stream.

  - Due to an array overrun, Wireshark could experience     undefined program behavior or could unexpectedly     terminate. With this update, proper array handling     ensures Wireshark no longer crashes in the described     scenario.

  - Previously, the dftest and randpkt command line     utilities lacked manual pages. This update adds proper     manual pages for both utilities.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - With this update, Wireshark is able to properly dissect     and handle InfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
