Huzaifa Sidhpurwala discovered a buffer overflow in Wireshark's ERF dissector, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code.

Updated wireshark packages that fix several security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

Wireshark is a program for monitoring network traffic. Wireshark was previously known as Ethereal.

Several flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.

Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark handled Endace ERF (Extensible Record Format) capture files. If Wireshark opened a specially crafted ERF capture file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.
(CVE-2011-4102)

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2011-1958, CVE-2011-1959, CVE-2011-2175, CVE-2011-2698, CVE-2012-0041, CVE-2012-0042, CVE-2012-0066, CVE-2012-0067, CVE-2012-4285, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291)

The CVE-2011-1958, CVE-2011-1959, CVE-2011-2175, and CVE-2011-4102 issues were discovered by Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of the Red Hat Security Response Team.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* When Wireshark starts with the X11 protocol being tunneled through an SSH connection, it automatically prepares its capture filter to omit the SSH packets. If the SSH connection was to a link-local IPv6 address including an interface name (for example ssh -X [ipv6addr]%eth0), Wireshark parsed this address erroneously, constructed an incorrect capture filter and refused to capture packets. The 'Invalid capture filter' message was displayed. With this update, parsing of link-local IPv6 addresses is fixed and Wireshark correctly prepares a capture filter to omit SSH packets over a link-local IPv6 connection. (BZ#438473)

* Previously, Wireshark's column editing dialog malformed column names when they were selected. With this update, the dialog is fixed and no longer breaks column names. (BZ#493693)

* Previously, TShark, the console packet analyzer, did not properly analyze the exit code of Dumpcap, Wireshark's packet capturing back end. As a result, TShark returned exit code 0 when Dumpcap failed to parse its command-line arguments. In this update, TShark correctly propagates the Dumpcap exit code and returns a non-zero exit code when Dumpcap fails. (BZ#580510)

* Previously, the TShark '-s' (snapshot length) option worked only for a value greater than 68 bytes. If a lower value was specified, TShark captured just 68 bytes of incoming packets. With this update, the '-s' option is fixed and sizes lower than 68 bytes work as expected.
(BZ#580513)

This update also adds the following enhancement :

* In this update, support for the 'NetDump' protocol was added.
(BZ#484999)

All users of Wireshark are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues and add this enhancement. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

The 'Invalid capture filter'     message was displayed. With this update, parsing of     link-local IPv6 addresses is fixed and Wireshark     correctly prepares a capture filter to omit SSH packets     over a link-local IPv6 connection.

  - Previously, Wireshark's column editing dialog malformed     column names when they were selected. With this update,     the dialog is fixed and no longer breaks column names.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in the erf_read_header function in wiretap/erf.c in the ERF file parser in     Wireshark 1.4.0 through 1.4.9 and 1.6.x before 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed file. (CVE-2011-4102)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.

This advisory updates wireshark to the latest version (1.6.3), fixing several security issues :

An uninitialized variable in the CSN.1 dissector could cause a crash (CVE-2011-4100).

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of Red Hat Security Response Team discovered that the Infiniband dissector could dereference a NULL pointer (CVE-2011-4101).

Huzaifa Sidhpurwala of Red Hat Security Response Team discovered a buffer overflow in the ERF file reader (CVE-2011-4102).

The updated packages have been upgraded to the latest 1.6.x version (1.6.3) which is not vulnerable to these issues.

     CVE-2011-2175     Integer underflow in the visual_read function in wiretap/visual.c in Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17 and     1.4.x before 1.4.7 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a     malformed Visual Networks file that triggers a heap-based buffer over-read.
     CVE-2011-2698     Off-by-one error in the elem_cell_id_aux function in epan/dissectors/packet-ansi_a.c in the ANSI MAP     dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.8 and 1.6.x before 1.6.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (infinite loop) via an invalid packet.
     CVE-2011-4102     Heap-based buffer overflow in the erf_read_header function in wiretap/erf.c in the ERF file parser in     Wireshark 1.4.0 through 1.4.9 and 1.6.x before 1.6.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a malformed file.
     CVE-2012-0041     The dissect_packet function in epan/packet.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5     allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a long packet in a capture     file, as demonstrated by an airopeek file.
     CVE-2012-0042     Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 does not properly perform certain string conversions,     which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application     crash) via a crafted packet, related to epan/to_str.c.
     CVE-2012-0066     Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (application crash) via a long packet in a (1) Accellent 5Views (aka .5vw) file, (2) I4B trace file, or     (3) NETMON 2 capture file.
     CVE-2012-0067     wiretap/iptrace.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 allows remote attackers to cause     a denial of service (application crash) via a long packet in an AIX iptrace file.
     CVE-2012-4285     The dissect_pft function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x     before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of     service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a zero-length message.
     CVE-2012-4289     epan/dissectors/packet-afp.c in the AFP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10,     and 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via     a large number of ACL entries.
     CVE-2012-4290 The CTDB dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before     1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (loop and CPU consumption) via a malformed     packet.
     CVE-2012-4291 The CIP dissector in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.15, 1.6.x before 1.6.10, and 1.8.x before     1.8.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a malformed packet.
    Fixed bugs:

     Fixed the parsing of link-local IPv6 addresses and Wireshark can prepare capture filter to omit SSH     packets over a link-local IPv6 connection.
     Wireshark's column editing does not brak column names any longer.
     TShark now properly analyzes the exit code of Dumpcap and propagates it correctly.
     The TShark -s (snapshot length) has been fixed: it now works fine with sizes lower that 68 bytes.
    Enhancement:
     Added support for the NetDump protocol was added.
