Synopsis

The remote SUSE host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

This update for wireshark to version 2.2.11 fixes several issues.
These security issues were fixed :

- CVE-2017-13767: The MSDP dissector could have gone into an infinite loop. This was addressed by adding length validation (bsc#1056248)

- CVE-2017-13766: The Profinet I/O dissector could have crash with an out-of-bounds write. This was addressed by adding string validation (bsc#1056249)

- CVE-2017-13765: The IrCOMM dissector had a buffer over-read and application crash. This was addressed by adding length validation (bsc#1056251)

- CVE-2017-9766: PROFINET IO data with a high recursion depth allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack exhaustion) in the dissect_IODWriteReq function (bsc#1045341)

- CVE-2017-9617: Deeply nested DAAP data may have cause stack exhaustion (uncontrolled recursion) in the dissect_daap_one_tag function in the DAAP dissector (bsc#1044417)

- CVE-2017-15192: The BT ATT dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-btatt.c by considering a case where not all of the BTATT packets have the same encapsulation level. (bsc#1062645)

- CVE-2017-15193: The MBIM dissector could crash or exhaust system memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-mbim.c by changing the memory-allocation approach. (bsc#1062645)

- CVE-2017-15191: The DMP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-dmp.c by validating a string length. (bsc#1062645)

- CVE-2017-17083: NetBIOS dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-netbios.c by ensuring that write operations are bounded by the beginning of a buffer. (bsc#1070727)

- CVE-2017-17084: IWARP_MPA dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-iwarp-mpa.c by validating a ULPDU length. (bsc#1070727)

- CVE-2017-17085: the CIP Safety dissector could crash.
This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-cipsafety.c by validating the packet length. (bsc#1070727)
