Detail

Problem Description:

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server Optional (v. 6) - i386, ppc64, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation (v. 6) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation Optional (v. 6) - i386, x86_64

3. Description:

Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the Wireshark MAC-LTE dissector. 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-2011-0444)

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark processed signaling traces generated by the Gammu utility on Nokia DCT3 phones running in Netmonitor mode. If Wireshark opened a specially-crafted capture file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2011-0713)

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-2011-0538, CVE-2011-1139, CVE-2011-1140, CVE-2011-1141)

Users of Wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Wireshark version 1.2.15, and resolve these issues. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

4. Solution:

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

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/kb/docs/DOC-11259

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

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.
70403 Wireshark MAC-LTE Dissector RAR Saturation Overflow

Wireshark is prone to an overflow condition. The MAC-LTE dissector fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input resulting in a buffer overflow. With a saturation of RAR files, a context-dependent attacker can cause a denial of service. It is possible, though not yet confirmed, that this may allow the execution of arbitrary code as well.
