The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201406-33 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please       review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker can cause arbitrary code execution or a Denial of       Service condition via a specially crafted packet.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Wireshark was updated to version 1.8.13 to fix security and stability issues.

The following security vulnerabilities have been fixed :

  - The NFS dissector could crash. (CVE-2014-2281)

  - The RLC dissector could crash. (CVE-2014-2283)

  - The MPEG file parser could overflow a buffer. For more     information about additional bug fixes and updated     protocol support, please refer to:
    https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-1.8.13     .html. (CVE-2014-2299)

The installed version of Wireshark 1.10.x is a version prior to 1.10.6. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following dissectors :

  - NFS dissector (CVE-2014-2281)
  - M3UA dissector (CVE-2014-2282)
  - RLC dissector (CVE-2014-2283)

Additionally, a flaw exists in the 'mpeg_read()' function in the MPEG file parser, 'wiretap/mpeg.c', where input is not properly sanitized when handling oversized records.  A context-dependent attacker could cause a buffer overflow with a specially crafted packet trace file, resulting in a denial of service or potentially arbitrary code execution.  (CVE-2014-2299)

- Ver. 1.10.6 Reorganize Capture Dialog layout on low     resolution displays

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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

  - The nfs_name_snoop_add_name function in     epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in the NFS dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.13 and 1.10.x before 1.10.6     does not validate a certain length value, which allows     remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory     corruption and application crash) via a crafted NFS     packet. (CVE-2014-2281)

  - The dissect_protocol_data_parameter function in     epan/dissectors/packet-m3ua.c in the M3UA dissector in     Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.6 does not properly     allocate memory, which allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted     SS7 MTP3 packet. (CVE-2014-2282)

  - epan/dissectors/packet-rlc in the RLC dissector in     Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.13 and 1.10.x before 1.10.6     uses inconsistent memory-management approaches, which     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (use-after-free error and application crash) via a     crafted UMTS Radio Link Control packet. (CVE-2014-2283)

Wireshark was updated to version 1.8.13 on openSUSE 12.3 and 1.10.6 on openSUSE 13.1 to fix security issues and bugs.
