Multiple 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, CVE-2014-2281, CVE-2014-2299)

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.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for PKTC, IAX2, GSM CBCH and NCP which could result in denial of service.

This update also fixes many older less important issues by updating the package to the version found in Debian 8 also known as Jessie.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
