medium Nessus Plugin ID 80815

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Solaris system is missing a security patch for third-party software.

Description

The remote Solaris system is missing necessary patches to address security updates :

 - The dissect_log function in plugins/irda/packet-irda.c in the IrDA dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '\n' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.
 (CVE-2014-5161)

 - The read_new_line function in wiretap/catapult_dct2000.c in the Catapult DCT2000 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '\ n' and '\r' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (off-by-one buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-5162)

 - The APN decode functionality in (1) epan/dissectors/packet-gtp.c and (2) epan/ dissectors/packet-gsm_a_gm.c in the GTP and GSM Management dissectors in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not completely initialize a certain buffer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
 (CVE-2014-5163)

 - The rlc_decode_li function in epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 initializes a certain structure member only after this member is used, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
 (CVE-2014-5164)

 - The dissect_ber_constrained_bitstring function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly validate padding values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet. (CVE-2014-5165)

Solution

Upgrade to Solaris 11.2.2.5.0.
