Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.71998
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandriva Security Advisory MDVSA-2011:138 (wireshark)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to wireshark
announced via advisory MDVSA-2011:138.

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.6.2), fixing
several security issues:

Untrusted search path vulnerability in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.9
and 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows local users to gain privileges via a
Trojan horse Lua script in an unspecified directory (CVE-2011-3360).

The csnStreamDissector function in epan/dissectors/packet-csn1.c in the
CSN.1 dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.2 does not initialize
a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet
(CVE-2011-3482).

Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.2 allows remote attackers to cause a
denial of service (application crash) via a malformed capture file
that leads to an invalid root tvbuff, related to a buffer exception
handling vulnerability. (CVE-2011-3483).

The unxorFrame function in epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c in the
OpenSafety dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.2 does not properly
validate a certain frame size, which allows remote attackers to cause
a denial of service (loop and application crash) via a malformed packet
(CVE-2011-3484).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.6.x version
(1.6.2) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

Affected: 2011.

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
