Detail

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala, Joernchen, and Xiaopeng Zhang discovered several vulnerabilities in the Wireshark network traffic analyzer. Vulnerabilities in the DCT3, LDAP and SMB dissectors and in the code to parse pcag-ng files could lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For the oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in version 1.0.2-3+lenny13.

For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 1.2.11-6+squeeze1

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1.4.4-1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.

Title: Vulnerability in pcap-ng processing in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, 1.4.0 through 1.4.3, and 1.5.0
Description: Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, 1.4.0 through 1.4.3, and 1.5.0 frees an uninitialized pointer during processing of a .pcap file in the pcap-ng format, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed file.

Id Description
71556 Wireshark pcap-ng File Handling Memory Corruption

A memory corruption flaw exists in Wireshark. The program frees an uninitialized pointer when processing .pcap files, resulting in memory corruption. With a specially crafted .pcap file, a context-dependent attacker can execute arbitrary code.
71555 Wireshark pcap-ng Large packet-length Field DoS

Wireshark contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when the wiretap/pcapng.c process fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input when handling pcap-ng files containing large packet-length fields, allowing a remote attacker to cause a denial of service.
71554 Wireshark Nokia DCT3 Trace File Handling Overflow

Wireshark is prone to an overflow condition. The wiretap/dct3trace.c process fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow. With a specially crafted long record in a Nokia DCT3 trace file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
71553 Wireshark Multiple Function SMB Packet Handling DoS

Wireshark contains a flaw that may allow a remote of service. The issue is triggered when an attacker directs an infinite recursive function call to the 'dissect_ms_compressed_string' and 'dissect_mscldap_string' functions via a a crafted SMB packet, resulting in a loss of availability.
71552 Wireshark Multiple Function CLDAP Packet Handling DoS

Wireshark contains a flaw that may allow a remote of service. The issue is triggered when an attacker directs an infinite recursive function call to the 'dissect_ms_compressed_string' and 'dissect_mscldap_string' functions via a a crafted SMB orConnection-less LDAP (CLDAP) packet, resulting in a loss of availability.
71550 Wireshark LDAP Dissector Filter String Memory Consumption DoS

Wireshark contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when 'epan/dissectors/packet-ldap.c' (LDAP Dissector) fails to properly process filter strings, allowing an attacker to use a crafted filter string to cause a denial of service via memory consumption.
