Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.807447
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Wireshark Multiple Denial-of-Service Vulnerabilities (Mar 2016) - Mac OS X
Summary:Wireshark is prone to multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.
Description:Summary:
Wireshark is prone to multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Vulnerability Insight:
Multiple flaws exist due to:

- The 'dissect_nhdr_extopt' function in 'epan/dissectors/packet-lbmc.c' script
in the LBMC dissector does not validate length values.

- The 'wiretap/nettrace_3gpp_32_423.c' script in the 3GPP TS 32.423 Trace file
parser does not ensure that a '\0' character is present at the end of
certain strings.

- The 'epan/dissectors/packet-hiqnet.c' script in the HiQnet dissector does not
validate the data type.

- The 'epan/dissectors/packet-x509af.c' script in the X.509AF dissector mishandles
the algorithm ID.

- 'epan/dissectors/packet-http2.c' script in the HTTP/2 dissector does not
limit the amount of header data.

- The 'dissect_ber_constrained_bitstring' function in 'epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c'
script in the ASN.1 BER dissector does not verify that a certain length
is nonzero.

- A heap-based buffer overflow error in 'wiretap/vwr.c' script in the
Ixia IxVeriWave file parser.

- An error in NFS dissector.

- 'epan/dissectors/packet-spice.c' script in the SPICE dissector in
mishandles capability data.

- 'epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211.c' script in the IEEE 802.11 dissector
mishandles the Grouping subfield.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow remote
attackers to conduct denial of service attack.

Affected Software/OS:
Wireshark version 2.0.x before 2.0.2
on Mac OS X

Solution:
Upgrade to Wireshark version 2.0.2 or
later.
