The installed version of Wireshark 1.8.x is a version prior to 1.8.12. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - NTLMSSP v2
  - SIP (Bug #9388)

wireshark was updated to security update version 1.8.12, fixing bugs and security issues.

  - The SIP dissector could go into an infinite loop.
    wnpa-sec-2013-66. (CVE-2013-7112)

  - The NTLMSSP v2 dissector could crash. Discovered by     Garming Sam. wnpa-sec-2013-68 (CVE-2013-7114) Further     bug fixes and updated protocol support as listed in :

https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.8.12.html

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.
(CVE-2014-2281, CVE-2014-2299)

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-2013-6336, CVE-2013-6337, CVE-2013-6338, CVE-2013-6339, CVE-2013-6340, CVE-2014-2283, CVE-2013-7112, CVE-2013-7114)

All Wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The installed version of Wireshark 1.10.x is prior to 1.10.4. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors and file parsers :

  - BSSGP (Bug #9488)
  - NTLMSSP v2
  - SIP (Bug #9388)
  - libpcap (Bug #9753)

Multiple vulnerabilities was found and corrected in Wireshark :

The dissect_sip_common function in epan/dissectors/packet-sip.c in the SIP dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 does not check for empty lines, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet (CVE-2013-7112).

Multiple buffer overflows in the create_ntlmssp_v2_key function in epan/dissectors/packet-ntlmssp.c in the NTLMSSP v2 dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.12 and 1.10.x before 1.10.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long domain name in a packet (CVE-2013-7114).

This advisory provides the latest version of Wireshark (1.8.12) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

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