Summary

Heap-based buffer overflow in wiretap/dct3trace.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long record in a Nokia DCT3 trace file.

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.

    descriptionHuzaifa Sidhpurwala, Joernchen, and Xiaopeng Zhang discovered several vulnerabilities in the Wireshark network traffic analyzer. Vulnerabilities in the DCT3, LDAP and SMB dissectors and in the code to parse pcag-ng files could lead to denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

  • NASL familyMandriva Local Security Checks
    NASL idMANDRIVA_MDVSA-2011-044.NASL
    descriptionThis advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.2.15), fixing several security issues : Wireshark 1.5.0, 1.4.3, and earlier frees an uninitialized pointer during processing of a .pcap file in the pcap-ng format, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed file (CVE-2011-0538). Heap-based buffer overflow in wiretap/dct3trace.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a long record in a Nokia DCT3 trace file (CVE-2011-0713). wiretap/pcapng.c in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a pcap-ng file that contains a large packet-length field (CVE-2011-1139). Multiple stack consumption vulnerabilities in the dissect_ms_compressed_string and dissect_mscldap_string functions in Wireshark 1.0.x, 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite recursion) via a crafted (1) SMB or (2) Connection-less LDAP (CLDAP) packet (CVE-2011-1140). epan/dissectors/packet-ldap.c in Wireshark 1.0.x, 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, and 1.4.0 through 1.4.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via (1) a long LDAP filter string or (2) an LDAP filter string containing many elements (CVE-2011-1141). Stack consumption vulnerability in the dissect_ber_choice function in the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.2.x through 1.2.15 and 1.4.x through 1.4.4 might allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors involving self-referential ASN.1 CHOICE values (CVE-2011-1142). epan/dissectors/packet-ntlmssp.c in the NTLMSSP dissector in Wireshark before 1.4.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted .pcap file (CVE-2011-1143). The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.2.x version (1.2.15) and patched to correct these issues.

    descriptionThe installed version of Wireshark is 1.0.x or 1.2.x less than 1.2.15 or 1.4.x less than 1.4.4. Such versions are affected by the following vulnerabilities : - The BER dissector may loop indefinitely. (Bug #1516) - A crash can occur in the NTLMSSP dissector. (Bug #5157) - An error exists in the processing of pcap-ng files that causes the application to free an uninitialized pointer. (Bug #5652) - An error exists in the processing of packets having large length in a pcap-ng file. This can result in application crashes. (Bug #5661) - A stack overflow vulnerability exists in the LDAP and SMB dissectors. (Bug #5717) - An error exists in the processing of malformed 6LoWPAN packets. This affects only 32-bit platforms and can result in application crashes. (Bug #5722) - An error exists in the processing of large LDAP filter strings that cause the application to consume excessive amounts of memory. (Bug #5732)

    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201110-02 (Wireshark: Multiple vulnerabilities) Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details. Impact : A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark, entice a user to open a malformed packet trace file using Wireshark, or deploy a specially crafted Lua script for use by Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code, or a Denial of Service condition. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
