The installed version of Wireshark is version 1.10.x prior to 1.10.9.
It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
A buffer underflow flaw exists in the ‘dissect_log’ function of the IrDA dissector, which is triggered when handling malformed packets. Using a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application. (CVE-2014-5161)
A buffer underflow flaw exists in the ‘read_new_line’ function of the DCT2000 dissector, which is triggered when handling malformed packets. Using a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application. (CVE-2014-5162)
An APN decode flaw exists in the GTP and GSM Management dissectors, which is triggered when handling malformed packets. Using a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application. (CVE-2014-5163)
An initialization flaw exists in the ‘rlc_decode_li’ function of the RLC dissector, which is triggered when handling malformed packets. Using a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application. (CVE-2014-5164)
A padding validation flaw exists within the ASN.1 BER dissector, which is triggered when handling malformed packets. Using a specially crafted packet, a remote attacker could cause a denial of service by crashing the application. (CVE-2014-5165)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
