Synopsis
An application installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.Description
The version of Wireshark installed on the remote macOS / Mac OS X host is 2.4.x prior to 2.4.10 / 2.6.x prior to 2.6.4. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities.- A buffer overflow condition exists in OPC UA applications due to failure to handle exceptional conditions. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this via carefully structured requests to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-12086)
- A stack-based buffer overflow condition exists in Liblouis 3.6.0 in the function parseChars in compileTranslationTable.c, a different vulnerability than CVE-2018-11440 due to failure to handle exceptional conditions. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to cause a denial of service condition or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2018-12585)
- Multiple denial of service vulnerabilities exist in the following protocol dissectors: CoAP, IHS Discovery, the MS-WSP due to improper handling of exceptional conditions. An unauthenticated remote attacker can exploit this to cause Wireshark to crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire, or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace file.
(CVE-2018-18225, CVE-2018-18226, CVE-2018-18227)
