Arch Linux 201603-15: Medium Threat in Wireshark-CLI Denial of Service

The package wireshark-cli before version 2.0.2-1 is vulnerable to denial of service. . Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201603-15 ========================================= Severity: Medium Date : 2016-03-12 CVE-ID : CVE-2016-2522 CVE-2016-2523 CVE-2016-2524 CVE-2016-2525 CVE-2016-2526 CVE-2016-2527 CVE-2016-2528 CVE-2016-2529 CVE-2016-2530 CVE-2016-2531 CVE-2016-2532 Package : wireshark-cli Type : denial of service Remote : Yes Link : https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/CVE Summary ====== The package wireshark-cli before version 2.0.2-1 is vulnerable to denial of service. Resolution ========= Upgrade to 2.0.2-1. # pacman -Syu "wireshark-cli> =2.0.2-1" The problem has been fixed upstream in version 2.0.2. Workaround ========= None. Description ========== - CVE-2016-2522: The dissect_ber_constrained_bitstring function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not verify that a certain length is nonzero, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2523: The dnp3_al_process_object function in epan/dissectors/packet-dnp.c in the DNP3 dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2524: epan/dissectors/packet-x509af.c in the X.509AF dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 mishandles the algorithm ID, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2525: epan/dissectors/packet-http2.c in the HTTP/2 dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not limit the amount of header data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2526: epan/dissectors/packet-hiqnet.c in the HiQnet dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2does not validate the data type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2527: wiretap/nettrace_3gpp_32_423.c in the 3GPP TS 32.423 Trace file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not ensure that a '\\0' character is present at the end of certain strings, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted file. - CVE-2016-2528: The dissect_nhdr_extopt function in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmc.c in the LBMC dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not validate length values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted packet. - CVE-2016-2529: The iseries_check_file_type function in wiretap/iseries.c in the iSeries file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not consider that a line may lack the "OBJECT PROTOCOL" substring, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file. - CVE-2016-2530: The dissct_rsl_ipaccess_msg function in epan/dissectors/packet-rsl.c in the RSL dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 mishandles the case of an unrecognized TLV type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2531. - CVe-2016-2531: Off-by-one error in epan/dissectors/packet-rsl.c in the RSL dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10 and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet that triggers a 0xff tag value, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2530. - CVE-2016-2532: The dissect_llrp_parameters function in epan/dissectors/packet-llrp.c in the LLRP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.10and 2.0.x before 2.0.2 does not limit the recursion depth, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption or application crash) via a crafted packet. Impact ===== A remote attacker can crash Wireshark by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing a vulnerable user to read a malformed packet trace file.
