Description

Several vulnerabilities have been found in wireshark, a network traffic analyzer.

CVE-2019-10894

Assertion failure in dissect_gssapi_work (packet-gssapi.c) leading to crash of the GSS-API dissector. Remote attackers might leverage this vulnerability to trigger DoS via a packet containing crafted GSS-API payload.

CVE-2019-10895

Insufficient data validation leading to large number of heap buffer overflows read and write in the NetScaler trace handling module (netscaler.c). Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted packets.

CVE-2019-10899

Heap-based buffer under-read vulnerability in the Service Location Protocol dissector. Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted SRVLOC packets.

CVE-2019-10901

NULL pointer dereference in the Local Download Sharing Service protocol dissector. Remote attackers might leverage these flaws to trigger DoS via crafted LDSS packets.

CVE-2019-10903

Missing boundary checks leading to heap out-of-bounds read vulnerability in the Microsoft Spool Subsystem protocol dissector.
Remote attackers might leverage these vulnerabilities to trigger DoS, or any other unspecified impact via crafted SPOOLSS packets.
