Summary
Name: Multiple problems in Wireshark® (formerly Ethereal®) versions
0.6.0 to 0.99.7
Docid: wnpa-sec-2008-01
Date: February 27, 2008
Versions affected: 0.6.0 up to and including 0.99.7
Details
Description
Wireshark 0.99.8 fixes the following vulnerabilities:
* The SCTP dissector could crash.
Versions affected: 0.99.5 to 0.99.7
* The SNMP dissector could crash. (Bugs 2144 and 2277)
Versions affected: 0.99.6 to 0.99.7
* The TFTP dissector could crash Wireshark on Ubuntu 7.10. (This appears to
be a bug in the Cairo library on that platform.) Reported by Noam Rathaus.
Versions affected: 0.6.0 to 0.99.7
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.
Resolution
Upgrade to Wireshark 0.99.8.
If are running Wireshark 0.99.7 or Ethereal 0.99.0 or earlier and cannot
upgrade, you can work around each of the problems listed above by doing
the following:
* Disable the SCTP, SNMP and TFTP dissectors.
o Select Analyze→Enabled Protocols... from the menu.
o Make sure "SCTP," "SNMP," and "TFTP" are un-checked.
o Click "Save", then click "OK".
