epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the ASSA R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted 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.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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

  - The Bluetooth HCI ACL dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x     before 1.10.2 does not properly maintain a certain free     list, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a crafted packet that is     not properly handled by the wmem_block_alloc function in     epan/wmem/wmem_allocator_block.c. (CVE-2013-5717)

  - The dissect_nbap_T_dCH_ID function in     epan/dissectors/packet-nbap.c in the NBAP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2     does not restrict the dch_id value, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5718)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the ASSA R3     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x     before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-5719)

  - Buffer overflow in the RTPS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x     before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2013-5720)

  - The dissect_mq_rr function in     epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c in the MQ dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2     does not properly determine when to enter a certain     loop, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-5721)

  - Unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet.
    (CVE-2013-5722)

This wireshark update to 1.8.10 fixes several security and non security bugs. [bnc#839607]

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201312-13 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could possibly execute arbitrary code with the       privileges of the process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Multiple vulnerabilities was found and corrected in Wireshark :

The dissect_nbap_T_dCH_ID function in epan/dissectors/packet-nbap.c in the NBAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not restrict the dch_id value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-5718).

epan/dissectors/packet-assa_r3.c in the ASSA R3 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-5719).

Buffer overflow in the RTPS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-5720).

The dissect_mq_rr function in epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c in the MQ dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 does not properly determine when to enter a certain loop, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-5721).

Unspecified vulnerability in the LDAP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.10 and 1.10.x before 1.10.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-5722).

This advisory provides the latest supported version of Wireshark (1.8.10) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.10 is earlier than 1.10.2.  It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - Bluetooth HCI ACL (Bug #8722)

  - NBAP (Bug #9005)
  - ASSA R3 (Bug #9020)
  - RTPS (Bug #9019)
  - MQ (Bug #9079)
  - LDAP (No bug ID)
  - Netmon file parser (Bug #8742)

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.10.  It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - NBAP (Bug #9005)
  - ASSA R3 (Bug #9020)
  - RTPS (Bug #9019)
  - MQ (Bug #9079)
