Background ========== Wireshark is a versatile network protocol analyzer. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/wireshark < 1.2.3 >= 1.2.3 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark: * Ryan Giobbi reported an integer overflow in wiretap/erf.c (CVE-2009-3829). * The vendor reported multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors (CVE-2009-2560), in the OpcUa dissector (CVE-2009-3241), in packet.c in the GSM A RR dissector (CVE-2009-3242), in the TLS dissector (CVE-2009-3243), in the Paltalk dissector (CVE-2009-3549), in the DCERPC/NT dissector (CVE-2009-3550), and in the dissect_negprot_response() function in packet-smb.c in the SMB dissector (CVE-2009-3551). Impact ====== A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted "erf" file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. A remote attacker could furthermore send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or entice a user to open a malformed packet trace file using Wireshark, possibly resulting in a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.2.3" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2009-2560 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2560 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-3241 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3241 [ 3 ] CVE-2009-3242 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3242 [ 4 ] CVE-2009-3243 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3243 [ 5 ] CVE-2009-3549 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3549 [ 6 ] CVE-2009-3550 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3550 [ 7 ] CVE-2009-3551 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3551 [ 8 ] CVE-2009-3829 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-3829 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200911-05.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
