Title:	Wireshark LDSS Dissector Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (Win)
Summary:	Check for the version of Wireshark
Description:	Overview: This host is installed with Wireshark and is prone to buffer overflow vulnerability. Vulnerability Insight: The flaw is due to heap-based buffer overflow in 'dissect_ldss_transfer()' function (epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c) in the LDSS dissector, which allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an LDSS packet with a long digest line. Impact: Successful exploitation will allow attackers to crash the application. Impact Level: Application Affected Software/OS: Wireshark version 1.2.0 to 1.2.12 and 1.4.0 to 1.4.1 Fix: Upgrade to Wireshark 1.4.2 or 1.2.13 later, For updates refer to http://www.wireshark.org/download References: http://osvdb.org/69354 http://secunia.com/advisories/42290 http://www.vupen.com/english/advisories/2010/3038 http://www.wireshark.org/security/wnpa-sec-2010-14.html
