Synopsis

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

Description

The remote Windows host has a version of Wireshark installed that is 1.10.x prior to 1.10.12 or 1.12.x prior to 1.12.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

- DEC DNA Routing (CVE-2015-0562)
- LPP (CVE-2015-0561)
- SMTP (CVE-2015-0563)
- WCCP (CVE-2015-0559, CVE-2015-0560)

- A denial of service vulnerability also exists related to a buffer underflow error in TLS/SSL session decryption.
(CVE-2015-0564)

A remote attacker, using a specially crafted packet or malformed pcap file, can exploit these to cause the application to crash.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to Wireshark version 1.10.12 / 1.12.3 or later.
