Background

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer with a graphical front-end.

Description

Errors exist in:

  • the X.509sat dissector because of an uninitialized variable and the Roofnet dissector because a NULL pointer may be passed to the g_vsnprintf() function (CVE-2008-1561).
  • the LDAP dissector because a NULL pointer may be passed to the ep_strdup_printf() function (CVE-2008-1562).
  • the SCCP dissector because it does not reset a pointer once the packet has been processed (CVE-2008-1563).

Impact

A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a malformed packet or enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file, causing a Denial of Service.

Workaround

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-analyzer/wireshark*< 0.99.6>= 0.99.6

Background

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer with a graphical front-end.

Description

Wireshark doesn't properly handle chunked encoding in HTTP responses (CVE-2007-3389), iSeries capture files (CVE-2007-3390), certain types of DCP ETSI packets (CVE-2007-3391), and SSL or MMS packets (CVE-2007-3392). An off-by-one error has been discovered in the DHCP/BOOTP dissector when handling DHCP-over-DOCSIS packets (CVE-2007-3393).

Impact

A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored with Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark which might be the root user, or a Denial of Service.

Workaround

In order to prevent root compromise, take network captures with tcpdump and analyze them running Wireshark as a least privileged user.

PackageArchVulnerableUnaffected
net-analyzer/wireshark*< 0.99.3>= 0.99.3

Background

Wireshark is a feature-rich network protocol analyzer.

Description

The following vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Firstly, if the IPsec ESP parser is used it is susceptible to off-by-one errors, this parser is disabled by default; secondly, the SCSI dissector is vulnerable to an unspecified crash; and finally, the Q.2931 dissector of the SSCOP payload may use all the available memory if a port range is configured. By default, no port ranges are configured.

Impact

An attacker might be able to exploit these vulnerabilities, resulting in a crash or the execution of arbitrary code with the permissions of the user running Wireshark, possibly the root user.

Workaround

Disable the SCSI and Q.2931 dissectors with the "Analyse" and "Enabled protocols" menus. Make sure the ESP decryption is disabled, with the "Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> ESP" menu.

Resolution

All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:

Wireshark, formerly known as Ethereal, is a popular network protocol analyzer.

Description

Wireshark dissectors have been found vulnerable to a large number of exploits, including off-by-one errors, buffer overflows, format string overflows and an infinite loop.

Impact

Running an affected version of Wireshark or Ethereal could allow for a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the user's computer by sending specially crafted packets.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-0.99.2"
