Description

Various security problems were fixed in the wireshark 0.99.6 release, which were backported to ethereal (predecessor of wireshark) :

- Wireshark allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a crafted chunked encoding in an HTTP response, possibly related to a zero-length payload. (CVE-2007-3389)

- Wireshark when running on certain systems, allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted iSeries capture files that trigger a SIGTRAP. (CVE-2007-3390)

- Wireshark allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a malformed DCP ETSI packet that triggers an infinite loop. (CVE-2007-3391)

- Wireshark allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service via malformed (1) SSL or (2) MMS packets that trigger an infinite loop. (CVE-2007-3392)

- Off-by-one error in the DHCP/BOOTP dissector in Wireshark allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via crafted DHCP-over-DOCSIS packets.
(CVE-2007-3393)
