Summary

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.1, the Profinet I/O dissector could loop excessively, triggered by network traffic or a capture file. This was addressed in plugins/profinet/packet-pn-rtc-one.c by rejecting input with too many I/O objects.

    descriptionThe version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.8 or 2.2.x prior to 2.2.2. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities : - A flaw exists in the dissect_PNIO_C_SDU_RTC1() function in packet-pn-rtc-one.c that causes excessive looping. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted network traffic or a specially crafted capture file, to exhaust available resources. Note that this vulnerability only affects 2.2.x versions. (CVE-2016-9372) - A use-after-free error exists in the DCEPRC dissector due to improper handling of IA5 SMS decoding. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted network traffic or a specially crafted capture file, to cause the application to crash. (CVE-2016-9373) - A buffer over-read flaw exists in the AllJoyn dissector due to improper handling of signature lengths. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted network traffic or a specially crafted capture file, to cause the application to crash. (CVE-2016-9374) - A flaw exists in the DTN dissector in the display_metadata_block() function due to improper SDNV evaluation. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted network traffic or a specially crafted capture file, to cause an infinite loop. (CVE-2016-9375) - Multiple flaws exist in the OpenFlow dissector in packet-openflow_v5.c due to improper handling of too short data lengths. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via specially crafted network traffic or a specially crafted capture file, to cause the application to crash. (CVE-2016-9376) Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application
