Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for PKTC, IAX2, GSM CBCH and NCP, SPOOLS, IEEE 802.11, UMTS FP, USB, Toshiba, CoSine, NetScreen, WBXML which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

The following vulnerabilities have been discovered in the Wheezy's Wireshark version :

CVE-2016-5350

The SPOOLS dissector could go into an infinite loop

CVE-2016-5351

The IEEE 802.11 dissector could crash

CVE-2016-5353

The UMTS FP dissector could crash

CVE-2016-5354

Some USB dissectors could crash

CVE-2016-5355

The Toshiba file parser could crash

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u2.

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 version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 1.12.x prior to 1.12.12. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :

  - An infinite loop exists in the SPOOLs dissector. A     remote attacker, via a specially crafted packet or trace     file, can exploit this to exhaust CPU resources,     resulting in a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2016-5350)

  - A flaw exists in the IEEE 802.11 dissector that is     triggered when handling a malformed packet or trace     file. A remote attacker can exploit this to cause a     denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-5351)
