<description>
<p>
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in Wireshark:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
David Maciejak discovered a vulnerability in packet-usb.c in the USB
dissector via a malformed USB Request Block (URB) (CVE-2008-4680).
</li>
<li>
Florent Drouin and David Maciejak reported an unspecified vulnerability
in the Bluetooth RFCOMM dissector (CVE-2008-4681).
</li>
<li>
A malformed Tamos CommView capture file (aka .ncf file) with an
"unknown/unexpected packet type" triggers a failed assertion in wtap.c
(CVE-2008-4682).
</li>
<li>
An unchecked packet length parameter in the dissect_btacl() function in
packet-bthci_acl.c in the Bluetooth ACL dissector causes an erroneous
tvb_memcpy() call (CVE-2008-4683).
</li>
<li>
A vulnerability where packet-frame does not properly handle exceptions
thrown by post dissectors caused by a certain series of packets
(CVE-2008-4684).
</li>
<li>
Mike Davies reported a use-after-free vulnerability in the
dissect_q931_cause_ie() function in packet-q931.c in the Q.931
dissector via certain packets that trigger an exception
(CVE-2008-4685).
</li>
<li>
The Security Vulnerability Research Team of Bkis reported that the SMTP
dissector could consume excessive amounts of CPU and memory
(CVE-2008-5285).
</li>
<li>
The vendor reported that the WLCCP dissector could go into an infinite
loop (CVE-2008-6472).
</li>
<li>
babi discovered a buffer overflow in wiretap/netscreen.c via a
malformed NetScreen snoop file (CVE-2009-0599).
</li>
<li>
A specially crafted Tektronix K12 text capture file can cause an
application crash (CVE-2009-0600).
</li>
<li>
A format string vulnerability via format string specifiers in the HOME
environment variable (CVE-2009-0601).
</li>
<li>THCX Labs reported a format string vulnerability in the
PROFINET/DCP (PN-DCP) dissector via a PN-DCP packet with format string
specifiers in the station name (CVE-2009-1210).
</li>
<li>An unspecified vulnerability with unknown impact and attack vectors
(CVE-2009-1266).
</li>
<li>
Marty Adkins and Chris Maynard discovered a parsing error in the
dissector for the Check Point High-Availability Protocol (CPHAP)
(CVE-2009-1268).
</li>
<li>
Magnus Homann discovered a parsing error when loading a Tektronix .rf5
file (CVE-2009-1269).
</li>
<li>The vendor reported that the PCNFSD dissector could crash
(CVE-2009-1829).</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending
specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or
by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file which can
trigger a Denial of Service (application crash or excessive CPU and
memory usage) and possibly allow for the execution of arbitrary code
with the privileges of the user running Wireshark.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.0.8"</code>
</resolution>
