high Nessus Plugin ID 65254

Synopsis

The remote Windows host contains an application that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities.

Description

The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.6. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :

- Errors exist in the CSN.1, CIMD, DTLS, Mount, MS-MMS, RTPS, RTPS2, and TCP dissectors that could allow them to crash. (Bugs 8274, 8332, 8335, 8346, 8380, 8382)

- Errors exist in the AMPQ, FCSP, HART/IP, MPLS Echo, and RELOAD dissectors that could lead to an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service. (Bugs 8039, 8337, 8359, 8360, 8364)

- The ACN dissector can attempt a divide by zero operation that could lead to an application crash.
(Bug 8340)

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 1.8.6 or later.
