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)

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

This update also adds the following enhancement :

  • In this update, support for the ‘NetDump’ protocol was added.

All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
