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.

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

  - The dissect_diagnosticrequest function in     epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation     And Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x     before 1.8.6 uses an incorrect integer data type, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a packet.
    (CVE-2013-2486)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-reload.c in the REsource LOcation     And Discovery (aka RELOAD) dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x     before 1.8.6 uses incorrect integer data types, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (infinite loop) via crafted integer values in a packet,     related to the (1) dissect_icecandidates, (2)     dissect_kinddata, (3) dissect_nodeid_list, (4)     dissect_storeans, (5) dissect_storereq, (6)     dissect_storeddataspecifier, (7) dissect_fetchreq, (8)     dissect_findans, (9) dissect_diagnosticinfo, (10)     dissect_diagnosticresponse, (11)     dissect_reload_messagecontents, and (12)     dissect_reload_message functions, a different     vulnerability than CVE-2013-2486. (CVE-2013-2487)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-gtpv2.c in the GTPv2 dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 calls incorrect functions     in certain contexts related to ciphers, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3555)

  - The fragment_add_seq_common function in     epan/reassemble.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in     Wireshark before r48943 has an incorrect pointer     dereference during a comparison, which allows remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) via a malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3556)

  - The dissect_ber_choice function in     epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector     in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.15 and 1.8.x before 1.8.7     does not properly initialize a certain variable, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3557)

  - The dissect_ccp_bsdcomp_opt function in     epan/dissectors/packet-ppp.c in the PPP CCP dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 does not terminate a     bit-field list, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a malformed     packet. (CVE-2013-3558)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses incorrect     integer data types, which allows remote attackers to     cause a denial of service (integer overflow, and heap     memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference, and     application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3559)

  - The dissect_dsmcc_un_download function in     epan/dissectors/packet-mpeg-dsmcc.c in the MPEG DSM-CC     dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses an     incorrect format string, which allows remote attackers     to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     malformed packet. (CVE-2013-3560)

  - Multiple integer overflows in Wireshark 1.8.x before     1.8.7 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (loop or application crash) via a malformed     packet, related to a crash of the Websocket dissector,     an infinite loop in the MySQL dissector, and a large     loop in the ETCH dissector. (CVE-2013-3561)

  - Multiple integer signedness errors in the tvb_unmasked     function in epan/ dissectors/packet-websocket.c in the     Websocket dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7     allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed packet.
    (CVE-2013-3562)

  - The dissect_pft function in     epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI     dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16, 1.8.x before     1.8.8, and 1.10.0 does not validate a certain fragment     length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     packet. (CVE-2013-4083)

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements 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, previously known as Ethereal, 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.
