Detail

Problem Description:

New Wireshark packages that fix various security vulnerabilities and functionality bugs are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal.

This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64

3. Problem description:

Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic.

Several denial of service bugs were found in Wireshark's HTTP, iSeries, DCP ETSI, SSL, MMS, DHCP and BOOTP protocol dissectors. It was possible for Wireshark to crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off the network. (CVE-2007-3389, CVE-2007-3390, CVE-2007-3391, CVE-2007-3392, CVE-2007-3393)

Wireshark would interpret certain completion codes incorrectly when dissecting IPMI traffic. Additionally, IPMI 2.0 packets would be reported as malformed IPMI traffic.

Users of Wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages containing Wireshark version 0.99.6, which correct these issues.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188

5. Bug IDs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

245796 - CVE-2007-3389 Wireshark crashes when inspecting HTTP traffic 245797 - CVE-2007-3391 Wireshark loops infinitely when inspecting DCP ETSI traffic 245798 - CVE-2007-3392 Wireshark loops infinitely when inspecting SSL traffic 246221 - CVE-2007-3393 Wireshark corrupts the stack when inspecting BOOTP traffic 246225 - CVE-2007-3390 Wireshark crashes when inspecting iSeries traffic 246229 - CVE-2007-3392 Wireshark crashes when inspecting MMS traffic
