Description
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202309-02 (Wireshark: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
- Crash in the OPUS protocol dissector in Wireshark 3.6.0 to 3.6.8 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2022-3725)
- Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted RTPS packet, Wireshark version 4.0.5 and prior, by default, is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly code execution in the context of the process running Wireshark. (CVE-2023-0666)
- Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted MSMMS packet, Wireshark version 4.0.5 and prior, in an unusual configuration, is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly code execution in the context of the process running Wireshark (CVE-2023-0667)
- Due to failure in validating the length provided by an attacker-crafted IEEE-C37.118 packet, Wireshark version 4.0.5 and prior, by default, is susceptible to a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly code execution in the context of the process running Wireshark. (CVE-2023-0668)
- ISO 15765 and ISO 10681 dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.3 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.11 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-1161)
- RPCoRDMA dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.4 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.12 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-1992)
- LISP dissector large loop in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.4 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.12 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-1993)
- GQUIC dissector crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.4 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.12 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-1994)
- BLF file parser crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2854, CVE-2023-2857)
- Candump log parser crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2855)
- VMS TCPIPtrace file parser crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2856)
- NetScaler file parser crash in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2858)
- GDSDB infinite loop in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2879)
- XRA dissector infinite loop in Wireshark 4.0.0 to 4.0.5 and 3.6.0 to 3.6.13 allows denial of service via packet injection or crafted capture file (CVE-2023-2952)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.
