The version of Wireshark installed remote Windows host is 1.10.x prior to 1.10.13, or 1.12.x prior to 1.12.4. It is, therefore, affected by denial of service vulnerabilities in the following items :
- ATN-CPDLC dissector (CVE-2015-2187)
- WCP dissector (CVE-2015-2188)
- pcapng file parser (CVE-2015-2189)
- LLDP dissector (CVE-2015-2190)
- TNEF dissector (CVE-2015-2191)
- SCSI OSD dissector (CVE-2015-2192)
A remote attacker can exploit these vulnerabilities to cause Wireshark to crash or consume excessive CPU resources, either by injecting a specially crafted packet onto the wire or by convincing a user to read a malformed packet trace or PCAP file.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
