In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c by adding validation of the relationships between indexes and lengths. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7702.

This wireshark update to version 2.2.8 fixes the following issues:
Security issues fixed :

  - CVE-2017-11411: The openSAFETY dissectorcould crash or     exhaust system memory because of missing length     validation. (bsc#1049621)

  - CVE-2017-11410: The WBXML dissector could go into an     infinite loop. (bsc#1049255)

  - CVE-2017-11408: The AMQP dissector could crash.
    (bsc#1049255)

  - CVE-2017-11407: The MQ dissector could crash.
    (bsc#1049255)

  - CVE-2017-11406: The DOCSIS dissector could go into an     infinite loop. (bsc#1049255)

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

This update to Wireshark 2.2.8 fixes some minor vulnerabilities could be used to trigger dissector crashes, infinite loops, or cause excessive use of memory resources by making Wireshark read specially crafted packages from the network or a capture file :

  - CVE-2017-7702,CVE-2017-11410: WBMXL dissector infinite     loop (wnpa-sec-2017-13)

  - CVE-2017-9350,CVE-2017-11411: openSAFETY dissector     memory exhaustion (wnpa-sec-2017-28)

  - CVE-2017-11408: AMQP dissector crash (wnpa-sec-2017-34)

  - CVE-2017-11407: MQ dissector crash (wnpa-sec-2017-35)

  - CVE-2017-11406: DOCSIS infinite loop (wnpa-sec-2017-36)
