The dissect_isakmp function in epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c in the ISAKMP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4 uses an incorrect data structure to determine IKEv2 decryption parameters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for PKTC, IAX2, GSM CBCH and NCP which could result in denial of service.

This update also fixes many older less important issues by updating the package to the version found in Debian 8 also known as Jessie.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

  - Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 allows remote attackers to     obtain sensitive hostname information by reading pcap-ng     files. (CVE-2012-6052)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-usb.c in the USB dissector in     Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     relies on a length field to calculate an offset value,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) via a zero value for this field.
    (CVE-2012-6053)

  - The dissect_sflow_245_address_type function in     epan/dissectors/packet-sflow.c in the sFlow dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 does not properly handle     length calculations for an invalid IP address type,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (infinite loop) via a packet that is neither     IPv4 nor IPv6. (CVE-2012-6054)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-3g-a11.c in the 3GPP2 A11     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)     via a zero value in a sub-type length field.
    (CVE-2012-6055)

  - Integer overflow in the dissect_sack_chunk function in     epan/dissectors/ packet-sctp.c in the SCTP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted     Duplicate TSN count. (CVE-2012-6056)

  - The dissect_eigrp_metric_comm function in     epan/dissectors/packet-eigrp.c in the EIGRP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.4 uses the wrong data type     for a certain offset value, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow     and infinite loop) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2012-6057)

  - Integer overflow in the dissect_icmpv6 function in     epan/dissectors/ packet-icmpv6.c in the ICMPv6 dissector     in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via a crafted Number of Sources value.
    (CVE-2012-6058)

  - The dissect_isakmp function in     epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c in the ISAKMP dissector     in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     uses an incorrect data structure to determine IKEv2     decryption parameters, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     malformed packet. (CVE-2012-6059)

  - Integer overflow in the dissect_iscsi_pdu function in     epan/dissectors/ packet-iscsi.c in the iSCSI dissector     in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2012-6060)

  - The dissect_wtp_common function in     epan/dissectors/packet-wtp.c in the WTP dissector in     Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     uses an incorrect data type for a certain length field,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (integer overflow and infinite loop) via a     crafted value in a packet. (CVE-2012-6061)

  - The dissect_rtcp_app function in     epan/dissectors/packet-rtcp.c in the RTCP dissector in     Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2012-6062)

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.
(CVE-2013-3559, CVE-2013-4083)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2012-2392, CVE-2012-3825, CVE-2012-4285, CVE-2012-4288, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291, CVE-2012-4292, CVE-2012-5595, CVE-2012-5597, CVE-2012-5598, CVE-2012-5599, CVE-2012-5600, CVE-2012-6056, CVE-2012-6059, CVE-2012-6060, CVE-2012-6061, CVE-2012-6062, CVE-2013-3557, CVE-2013-3561, CVE-2013-4081, CVE-2013-4927, CVE-2013-4931, CVE-2013-4932, CVE-2013-4933, CVE-2013-4934, CVE-2013-4935, CVE-2013-4936, CVE-2013-5721)

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.10, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. For more information on the bugs fixed, enhancements included, and supported protocols introduced, refer to the Wireshark Release Notes, linked to in the References. (BZ#711024)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, Wireshark did not parse the RECLAIM-COMPLETE opcode when inspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1. A patch has been provided to enable the parsing of the RECLAIM_COMPLETE opcode, and Wireshark is now able to properly dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic. (BZ#750712)

* Prior to this update, frame arrival times in a text file were reported one hour ahead from the timestamps in the packet capture file. This resulted in various failures being reported by the dfilter-test.py test suite. To fix this bug, frame arrival timestamps have been shifted by one hour, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#832021)

* The 'tshark -D' command returned output to STDERR instead of STDOUT, which could break scripts that are parsing the 'tshark -D' output.
This bug has been fixed, and the 'tshark -D' command now writes output data to a correct standard stream. (BZ#1004636)

* Due to an array overrun, Wireshark could experience undefined program behavior or could unexpectedly terminate. With this update, proper array handling ensures Wireshark no longer crashes in the described scenario. (BZ#715560)

* Previously, the dftest and randpkt command line utilities lacked manual pages. This update adds proper manual pages for both utilities.
(BZ#659661)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

* With this update, Wireshark is able to properly dissect and handle InfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic. (BZ#699636, BZ#858976)

All Wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues and add these enhancements. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
