The dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info function in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 does not prevent the conflicting use of a table for both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

wireshark was updated to version 1.12.8 to fix ten security issues.

These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2015-6247: The dissect_openflow_tablemod_v5 function     in epan/dissectors/packet-openflow_v5.c in the OpenFlow     dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 did not     validate a certain offset value, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop)     via a crafted packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6246: The dissect_wa_payload function in     epan/dissectors/packet-waveagent.c in the WaveAgent     dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 mishandles     large tag values, which allowed remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     crafted packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6245: epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_rlcmac.c in     the GSM RLC/MAC dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before     1.12.7 used incorrect integer data types, which allowed     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite     loop) via a crafted packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6244: The dissect_zbee_secure function in     epan/dissectors/packet-zbee-security.c in the ZigBee     dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 improperly     relies on length fields contained in packet data, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6243: The dissector-table implementation in     epan/packet.c in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7     mishandles table searches for empty strings, which     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a crafted packet, related to the     (1) dissector_get_string_handle and (2)     dissector_get_default_string_handle functions     (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6242: The wmem_block_split_free_chunk function     in epan/wmem/wmem_allocator_block.c in the wmem block     allocator in the memory manager in Wireshark 1.12.x     before 1.12.7 did not properly consider a certain case     of multiple realloc operations that restore a memory     chunk to its original size, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (incorrect free     operation and application crash) via a crafted packet     (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6241: The proto_tree_add_bytes_item function in     epan/proto.c in the protocol-tree implementation in     Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 did not properly     terminate a data structure after a failure to locate a     number within a string, which allowed remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     crafted packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-7830: pcapng file parser could crash while     copying an interface filter (bsc#950437).

  - CVE-2015-6249: The dissect_wccp2r1_address_table_info     function in epan/dissectors/packet-wccp.c in the WCCP     dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 did not     prevent the conflicting use of a table for both IPv4 and     IPv6 addresses, which allowed remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     packet (bsc#941500).

  - CVE-2015-6248: The ptvcursor_add function in the     ptvcursor implementation in epan/proto.c in Wireshark     1.12.x before 1.12.7 did not check whether the expected     amount of data is available, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a crafted packet (bsc#941500).
