Wireshark 2.4.x < 2.4.1 Multiple DoS

high Nessus Plugin ID 102921

Language:

Synopsis

An application installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.1. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the Modbus, IrCOMM, Profinet I/O, and MSDP dissectors. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 2.4.1 or later.
