Background ========== Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer with a graphical front-end. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/wireshark < 0.99.7 >= 0.99.7 Description =========== Multiple buffer overflows and infinite loops were discovered in multiple dissector and parser components, including those for MP3 and NCP (CVE-2007-6111), PPP (CVE-2007-6112), DNP (CVE-2007-6113), SSL and iSeries (OS/400) Communication traces (CVE-2007-6114), ANSI MAP (CVE-2007-6115), Firebird/Interbase (CVE-2007-6116), HTTP (CVE-2007-6117), MEGACO (CVE-2007-6118), DCP ETSI (CVE-2007-6119), Bluetooth SDP (CVE-2007-6120), RPC Portmap (CVE-2007-6121), SMB (CVE-2007-6438), IPv6 amd USB (CVE-2007-6439), WiMAX (CVE-2007-6441), RPL (CVE-2007-6450), CIP (CVE-2007-6451). The vulnerabilities were discovered by Stefan Esser, Beyond Security, Fabiodds, Peter Leeming, Steve and ainsley. Impact ====== A remote attacker could send specially crafted packets on a network being monitored with Wireshark or entice a user to open a specially crafted file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running Wireshark (which might be the root user), or 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-0.99.7" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2007-6111 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6111 [ 2 ] CVE-2007-6112 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6112 [ 3 ] CVE-2007-6113 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6113 [ 4 ] CVE-2007-6114 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6114 [ 5 ] CVE-2007-6115 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6115 [ 6 ] CVE-2007-6116 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6116 [ 7 ] CVE-2007-6117 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6117 [ 8 ] CVE-2007-6118 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6118 [ 9 ] CVE-2007-6119 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6119 [ 10 ] CVE-2007-6120 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6120 [ 11 ] CVE-2007-6121 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6121 [ 12 ] CVE-2007-6438 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6438 [ 13 ] CVE-2007-6439 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6439 [ 14 ] CVE-2007-6441 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6441 [ 15 ] CVE-2007-6450 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6450 [ 16 ] CVE-2007-6451 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2007-6451 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200712-23.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.
