Summary

Name: DECT, NFS, and X.509if vulnerabilities in Wireshark® version 1.4.0

Docid: wnpa-sec-2011-06

Date: April 15, 2011

Versions affected: 1.4.0

Related: wnpa-sec-2011-05 (X.509if vulnerability in Wireshark® version
1.2.0 to 1.2.14 )


Details

Description

Wireshark 1.4.5 fixes the following vulnerabilities:

     * The NFS dissector could crash on Windows. (Bug 5209) Versions
affected: 1.4.0 to 1.4.4.
     * The X.509if dissector could crash. (Bug 5754, Bug 5793) Versions
  affected: 1.2.0 to 1.2.15 and 1.4.0 to 1.4.4.
     * Paul Makowski from SEI/CERT discovered that the DECT dissector
could overflow a buffer. He verified that this could allow remote code
execution on many platforms. Versions affected: 1.4.0 to 1.4.4.

Impact

It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a series of
malformed packets onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a
malformed packet trace file.


Resolution

Upgrade to Wireshark 1.4.5 or later.

If are running Wireshark 1.4.4 or earlier (including Ethereal) and cannot
upgrade, you can work around the problem listed above by doing the following:

     * Disable the DECT, NFS (if you're running Windows), and X.509if dissectors:
           o Select Analyze→Enabled Protocols... from the menu.
           o Make sure "DECT", "NFS", and "X.509if" are un-checked.
           o Click "Save", then click "OK".
