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.

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

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.
