>> Wireshark Multiple Protocol Dissector Denial of Service Vulnerabilities
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been identified in Wireshark, which could be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or potentially compromise a vulnerable system. These issues are caused by infinite loop, memory corruption, and buffer overflow errors when processing malformed DNP, SSL, ANSI MAP, Firebird/Interbase, NCP, HTTP, MEGACO, DCP ETSI, PPP, Bluetooth SDP or RPC Portmap packets, and when parsing specially crafted MP3 or iSeries (OS/400) Communication trace files, which could be exploited by attackers to crash an affected application or exhaust all available memory resources, creating a denial of service conditon.
Affected Products
Wireshark versions 0.8.16 through 0.99.6
