Off-by-one error in the pcapng_read function in wiretap/pcapng.c in the pcapng file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.13 and 1.12.x before 1.12.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via an invalid Interface Statistics Block (ISB) interface ID in a crafted packet.

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-2015-2188, CVE-2015-2189, CVE-2015-2191, CVE-2015-3810, CVE-2015-3811, CVE-2015-3812, CVE-2015-3813, CVE-2014-8710, CVE-2014-8711, CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713, CVE-2014-8714, CVE-2015-0562, CVE-2015-0563, CVE-2015-0564, CVE-2015-3182, CVE-2015-6243, CVE-2015-6244, CVE-2015-6245, CVE-2015-6246, CVE-2015-6248)

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.10.14, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version.

This update also fixes the following bug :

  - Prior to this update, when using the tshark utility to     capture packets over the interface, tshark failed to     create output files in the .pcap format even if it was     specified using the '-F' option. This bug has been     fixed, the '-F' option is now honored, and the result     saved in the .pcap format as expected.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement :

  - Previously, wireshark included only microseconds in the     .pcapng format. With this update, wireshark supports     nanosecond time stamp precision to allow for more     accurate time stamps.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security 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.

The wireshark packages contain a network protocol analyzer used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201510-03 (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 cause a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

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-2014-8714 , CVE-2014-8712 , CVE-2014-8713 , CVE-2014-8711 , CVE-2014-8710 , CVE-2015-0562 , CVE-2015-0564 , CVE-2015-2189 , CVE-2015-2191)

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-2014-8714, CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713, CVE-2014-8711, CVE-2014-8710, CVE-2015-0562, CVE-2015-0564, CVE-2015-2189, CVE-2015-2191)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, the Wireshark tool did not support Advanced     Encryption Standard Galois/Counter Mode (AES-GCM)     cryptographic algorithm. As a consequence, AES-GCM was     not decrypted. Support for AES-GCM has been added to     Wireshark, and AES-GCM is now correctly decrypted.

  - Previously, when installing the system using the     kickstart method, a dependency on the shadow-utils     packages was missing from the wireshark packages, which     could cause the installation to fail with a 'bad     scriptlet' error message. With this update, shadow-utils     are listed as required in the wireshark packages spec     file, and kickstart installation no longer fails.

  - Prior to this update, the Wireshark tool could not     decode types of elliptic curves in Datagram Transport     Layer Security (DTLS) Client Hello. Consequently,     Wireshark incorrectly displayed elliptic curves types as     data. A patch has been applied to address this bug, and     Wireshark now decodes elliptic curves types properly.

  - Previously, a dependency on the gtk2 packages was     missing from the wireshark packages. As a consequence,     the Wireshark tool failed to start under certain     circumstances due to an unresolved symbol,     'gtk_combo_box_text_new_with_entry', which was added in     gtk version 2.24. With this update, a dependency on gtk2     has been added, and Wireshark now always starts as     expected.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - With this update, the Wireshark tool supports process     substitution, which feeds the output of a process (or     processes) into the standard input of another process     using the '<(command_list)' syntax. When using process     substitution with large files as input, Wireshark failed     to decode such input.

  - Wireshark has been enhanced to enable capturing packets     with nanosecond time stamp precision, which allows     better analysis of recorded network traffic.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The remote Oracle Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2015-1460 advisory.

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

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-2014-8714, CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713, CVE-2014-8711, CVE-2014-8710, CVE-2015-0562, CVE-2015-0564, CVE-2015-2189, CVE-2015-2191)

The pcapng file parser could crash (CVE-2015-2189).

The TNEF dissector could go into an infinite loop (CVE-2015-2191).

Wireshark was updated to 1.10.13 on openSUSE 13.1 to fix bugs and security issues. Wireshark was updated to 1.12.4 on openSUSE 13.2 to fix bugs and security issues.

The following security issues were fixed in 1.10.13 :

  - The WCP dissector could crash. wnpa-sec-2015-07     CVE-2015-2188 [bnc#920696]

  - Further bug fixes and updated protocol support as listed     in:
    https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.12.4     .html

The version of Wireshark installed remote Windows host is 1.10.x prior to 1.10.13, or 1.12.x prior to 1.12.4. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following items :

    - ATN-CPDLC dissector (CVE-2015-2187)
    - WCP dissector (CVE-2015-2188)
    - pcapng file parser (CVE-2015-2189)
    - LLDP dissector (CVE-2015-2190)
    - TNEF dissector (CVE-2015-2191)
    - SCSI OSD dissector (CVE-2015-2192)

A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause Wireshark to crash or consume excessive CPU resources, either by injecting a specially crafted packet onto the wire or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace or PCAP file.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
