(CVE-2013-3559, CVE-2013-4083)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2012-2392, CVE-2012-3825, CVE-2012-4285, CVE-2012-4288, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291, CVE-2012-4292, CVE-2012-5595, CVE-2012-5597, CVE-2012-5598, CVE-2012-5599, CVE-2012-5600, CVE-2012-6056, CVE-2012-6059, CVE-2012-6060, CVE-2012-6061, CVE-2012-6062, CVE-2013-3557, CVE-2013-3561, CVE-2013-4081, CVE-2013-4927, CVE-2013-4931, CVE-2013-4932, CVE-2013-4933, CVE-2013-4934, CVE-2013-4935, CVE-2013-4936, CVE-2013-5721)

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.10, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions. For more information on the bugs fixed, enhancements included, and supported protocols introduced, refer to the Wireshark Release Notes.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - Previously, Wireshark did not parse the RECLAIM-COMPLETE     opcode when inspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1. A     patch has been provided to enable the parsing of the     RECLAIM_COMPLETE opcode, and Wireshark is now able to     properly dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic.

  - Prior to this update, frame arrival times in a text file     were reported one hour ahead from the timestamps in the     packet capture file. This resulted in various failures     being reported by the dfilter-test.py test suite. To fix     this bug, frame arrival timestamps have been shifted by     one hour, thus fixing this bug.

  - The 'tshark -D' command returned output to STDERR     instead of STDOUT, which could break scripts that are     parsing the 'tshark -D' output. This bug has been fixed,     and the 'tshark -D' command now writes output data to a     correct standard stream.

  - Due to an array overrun, Wireshark could experience     undefined program behavior or could unexpectedly     terminate. With this update, proper array handling     ensures Wireshark no longer crashes in the described     scenario.

  - Previously, the dftest and randpkt command line     utilities lacked manual pages. This update adds proper     manual pages for both utilities.

In addition, this update adds the following enhancements :

  - With this update, Wireshark is able to properly dissect     and handle InfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
