Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

NASL family Red Hat Local Security Checks NASL id REDHAT-RHSA-2008-0059.NASL description Updated wireshark packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3. 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-2007-6114, 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-2007-6112, 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. Users of wireshark should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain Wireshark version 0.99.7, and resolve these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 67642 published 2013-07-12 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2013-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/67642 title Oracle Linux 4 / 5 : wireshark (ELSA-2008-0058) NASL family FreeBSD Local Security Checks NASL id FREEBSD_PKG_8A835235AE8411DCA5F9001A4D49522B.NASL description The Wireshark team reports of multiple vulnerabilities : - Wireshark could crash when reading an MP3 file. - Beyond Security discovered that Wireshark could loop excessively while reading a malformed DNP packet. - Stefan Esser discovered a buffer overflow in the SSL dissector. - The ANSI MAP dissector could be susceptible to a buffer overflow on some platforms. - The Firebird/Interbase dissector could go into an infinite loop or crash. - The NCP dissector could cause a crash. - The HTTP dissector could crash on some systems while decoding chunked messages. - The MEGACO dissector could enter a large loop and consume system resources. - The DCP ETSI dissector could enter a large loop and consume system resources. - Fabiodds discovered a buffer overflow in the iSeries (OS/400) Communication trace file parser. - The PPP dissector could overflow a buffer. - The Bluetooth SDP dissector could go into an infinite loop. - A malformed RPC Portmap packet could cause a crash. - The IPv6 dissector could loop excessively. - The USB dissector could loop excessively or crash. - The SMB dissector could crash. - The RPL dissector could go into an infinite loop. - The WiMAX dissector could crash due to unaligned access on some platforms. - The CIP dissector could attempt to allocate a huge amount of memory and crash. Impact It may be possible to make Wireshark or Ethereal crash or use up available memory by injecting a purposefully malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 29772 published 2007-12-24 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2007-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/29772 title FreeBSD : wireshark -- multiple vulnerabilities (8a835235-ae84-11dc-a5f9-001a4d49522b) NASL family Fedora Local Security Checks NASL id FEDORA_2007-4690.NASL description upgrade to 0.99.7 fixes various security flaws.

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.
