The installed version of Wireshark is 1.4.x before 1.4.9. This version is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An error exists in IKE dissector that can allow denial of service attacks when processing certain malformed packets. (CVE-2011-3266)

  • A buffer exception handling vulnerability exists that can allow denial of service attacks when processing certain malformed packets. (Issue #6135)

  • It may be possible to make Wireshark execute Lua scripts using a method similar to DLL hijacking. (Issue #6136)
