The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is 2.6.x prior to 2.6.6. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the following protocol dissectors:

  - 6LoWPAN

  - P_MUL

  - RTSE

  - ISAKMP

An attacker could cause Wireshark to crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace file.

It was discovered that Wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors for 6LoWPAN, P_MUL, RTSE, ISAKMP, TCAP, ASN.1 BER and RPCAP, which could result in denial of service.

This update for wireshark and libmaxminddb fixes the following issues :

Update wireshark to new major version 3.2.2 and introduce libmaxminddb for GeoIP support (bsc#1156288).

New features include :

  - Added support for 111 new protocols, including     WireGuard, LoRaWAN, TPM 2.0, 802.11ax and QUIC

  - Improved support for existing protocols, like HTTP/2

  - Improved analytics and usability functionalities

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-15:Update update project.

Several issues in wireshark, a network traffic analyzer, have been found. Dissectors of

  - ISAKMP, a Internet Security Association and Key     Management Protocol

  - P_MUL, a reliable multicast transfer protocol

  - 6LoWPAN, IPv6 over Low power Wireless Personal Area     Network are affected.

CVE-2019-5719 Mateusz Jurczyk found that a missing encryption block in a packet could crash the ISAKMP dissector.

CVE-2019-5717 It was found that the P_MUL dissector could crash when a malformed packet contains an illegal Data PDU sequence number of 0.
Such a packet may not be analysed.

CVE-2019-5716 It was found that the 6LoWPAN dissector could crash when a malformed packet does not contain IPHC information though the header says it should.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u17.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.
