Detail

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.16), fixing several security issues:

The X.509if dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.16 and 1.4.x before 1.4.5 does not properly initialize certain global variables, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted .pcap file (CVE-2011-1590).

Stack-based buffer overflow in the DECT dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-dect.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.5 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted .pcap file (CVE-2011-1591).

The NFS dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.5 on Windows uses an incorrect integer data type during decoding of SETCLIENTID calls, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted .pcap file (CVE-2011-1592).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.2.x version (1.2.16) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
71848 Wireshark epan/dissectors/packet-dect.c DECT Dissector Overflow

Wireshark is prone to an overflow condition. The DECT dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-dect.c fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a buffer overflow. With a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
71847 Wireshark on Windows epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c NFS Dissector DoS

Wireshark on Windows contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a data type mismatch error occurs within the NFS dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c, allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service via specially crafted packets.
71846 Wireshark X.509if Dissector Use-after-free DoS

Wireshark contains a flaw that may allow a remote denial of service. The issue is triggered when a use-after-free error occurs within the X.509if dissector, allowing an attacker to cause a denial of service via specially crafted packets.
