The installed version of Wireshark is earlier than 1.2.18 / 1.4.8 / 1.6.1 and thus is potentially affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities:

  • An error in the Lucent / Ascend file parser can be exploited by specially crafted packets to cause high CPU usage. (CVE-2011-2597)

  • An error in the ‘elem_cell_id_list’ function of the ANSI MAP dissector can be exploited by a specially crafted MAP packet to cause a denial of service condition. (Issue #6044)
