The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.3. It thus is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • A malformed packet can cause the ‘DRDA’ and ‘HSRP’ dissectors to enter an infinite loop, thereby consuming excessive CPU resources. (CVE-2012-3548, CVE-2012-5237)

  • A malformed packet can cause the ‘PPP’ dissector to crash the application. (CVE-2012-5238)

  • A malformed packet can trigger a buffer overflow in the ‘LDP’ dissector, which results in an application crash.
    (CVE-2012-5240)
