The version of Wireshark installed on the remote MacOS/MacOSX host is 2.2.x prior to 2.2.13 or 2.4.x prior to 2.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

It was discovered that Wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors for PCP, ADB, NBAP, UMTS MAC, IEEE 802.11, SIGCOMP, LDSS, GSM A DTAP and Q.931, which result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.2.x prior to 2.2.13 or 2.4.x prior to 2.4.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities.

It was discovered that wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities that could result in infinite loops in different dissectors. Other issues are related to crash in dissectors that are caused by special crafted and malformed packets.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 1.12.1+g01b65bf-4+deb8u6~deb7u10.

We recommend that you upgrade your wireshark packages.

Impact

BIG-IP

A remote attacker can transmit crafted packets while a BIG-IP administrator account runs the tshark utility with the affected protocol parsers via Advanced Shell ( bash ). This causes the tshark utility to stop responding and may allow remote code execution from the BIG-IP administrator account.

BIG-IQ, Enterprise Manager, F5 iWorkflow, ARX, LineRate, and Traffix SDC

There is no impact; these F5 products are not affected by this vulnerability.

This update for Wireshark to version 2.2.13 fixes a number of minor vulnerabilities that could be used to trigger dissector crashes or cause dissectors to go into large infinite loops by making Wireshark read specially crafted packages from the network or capture files:
