Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.811596
Category:Denial of Service
Title:Wireshark 'IrCOMM' And 'MSDP' Dissectors DoS Vulnerabilities - Windows
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 are due to:

- Missing length validation in 'epan/dissectors/packet-msdp.c' so that the
MSDP dissector could go into an infinite loop.

- Missing length validation in 'plugins/irda/packet-ircomm.c' so that the
IrCOMM dissector could read past the end of a buffer.

Vulnerability Impact:
Successful exploitation will allow
attackers to make Wireshark crash and also consume excessive CPU resources by
injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a
malformed packet trace file.

Affected Software/OS:
Wireshark version 2.4.0, 2.2.0 to 2.2.8,
2.0.0 to 2.0.14 on Windows.

Solution:
Upgrade to Wireshark version 2.4.1 or
2.2.9 or 2.0.15 or later.

CVSS Score:
7.8
