The remote host is missing an update to wireshark
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:044.
This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.15),
fixing several security issues:
Wireshark 1.5.0, 1.4.3, and earlier frees an uninitialized pointer
during processing of a .pcap file in the pcap-ng format, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption)
or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed file
(CVE-2011-0538).
Heap-based buffer overflow in wiretap/dct3trace.c in Wireshark
1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers
to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have
unspecified other impact via a long record in a Nokia DCT3 trace file
(CVE-2011-0713).
wiretap/pcapng.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through
1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application
crash) via a pcap-ng file that contains a large packet-length field
(CVE-2011-1139).
Multiple stack consumption vulnerabilities in the
dissect_ms_compressed_string and dissect_mscldap_string functions in
Wireshark 1.0.x, 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allow
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion)
via a crafted (1) SMB or (2) Connection-less LDAP (CLDAP) packet
(CVE-2011-1140).
epan/dissectors/packet-ldap.c in Wireshark 1.0.x, 1.2.0 through 1.2.14,
and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial
of service (memory consumption) via (1) a long LDAP filter string or
(2) an LDAP filter string containing many elements (CVE-2011-1141).
Stack consumption vulnerability in the dissect_ber_choice function in
the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x through 1.2.15 and 1.4.x through
1.4.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service
(infinite loop) via vectors involving self-referential ASN.1 CHOICE
values (CVE-2011-1142).
The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.2.x version
(1.2.15) and patched to correct these issues.
Affected: 2010.0, 2010.1, Corporate 4.0, Enterprise Server 5.0
Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
