The installed version of Wireshark is 1.2.x less than 1.2.17 or 1.4.x less than 1.4.7. As such, it is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An error exists in DICOM dissector that can allow denial of service attacks when processing certain malformed packets. (Issue #5876)

  • An error exists in the handling of corrupted snoop files that can cause application crashes. (Issue #5912)

  • An error exists in the handling of compressed capture data that can cause application crashes. (Issue #5908)

  • An error exists in the handling of ‘Visual Networks’ files that can cause application crashes. (Issue #5934)

  • An error exists in the ‘desegment_tcp()’ function in the file ‘epan/dissectors/packet-tcp.c’ that can allow a NULL pointer to be dereferenced when handling certain TCP segments. (Issue #5837)

  • An error exists in the handling of corrupted ‘Diameter’ dictionary files that can cause application crashes. (CVE-2011-1958)
