NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2008-0058.NASL description Updated wireshark packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal. Several flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or possibly execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark if it read a malformed packet off the network. (CVE-2007-6112, CVE-2007-6114, CVE-2007-6115, CVE-2007-6117) Several denial of service bugs were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off the network. (CVE-2007-6111, CVE-2007-6113, CVE-2007-6116, CVE-2007-6118, CVE-2007-6119, CVE-2007-6120, CVE-2007-6121, CVE-2007-6438, CVE-2007-6439, CVE-2007-6441, CVE-2007-6450, CVE-2007-6451) As well, Wireshark switched from using net-snmp to libsmi, which is included in this errata.

The vulnerabilities were discovered by Stefan Esser, Beyond Security, Fabiodds, Peter Leeming, Steve and ainsley. Impact : A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored with Wireshark or entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark (which might be the root user), or a Denial of Service. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 29820 published 2007-12-31 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/29820 title GLSA-200712-23 : Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities NASL family Mandriva Local Security Checks NASL id MANDRIVA_MDVSA-2008-001.NASL description A number of vulnerabilities in the Wireshark program were found that could cause crashes, excessive looping, or arbitrary code execution. This update provides Wireshark 0.99.7 which is not vulnerable to these issues. An updated version of libsmi is also being provided, not because of security issues, but because this version of wireshark uses it instead of net-snmp for SNMP support. Update : This update is being reissued without libcap (kernel capabilities) support, as that is not required by the original released packages, and thus gave trouble for a number of users. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 36583 published 2009-04-23 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2009-2019 Tenable Network Security, Inc. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/36583 title Mandriva Linux Security Advisory : wireshark (MDVSA-2008:001-1) NASL family CentOS Local Security Checks NASL id CENTOS_RHSA-2008-0058.NASL description Updated wireshark packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5.
