The installed version of Wireshark or Ethereal is affected by multiple issues :

  • The GSM A RR dissector could crash. (Bug 3893)

  • The OpcUa dissector could use excessive CPU and memory.
    (Bug 3986)

  • The TLS dissector could crash on some platforms.
    (Bug 4008)

  • Wireshark could crash while reading an ‘ERF’ file. (Bug 3849)

These vulnerabilities could result in a denial of service. A remote attacker could exploit these issues by tricking a user into opening a maliciously crafted capture file. Additionally, if Wireshark is running in promiscuous mode, one of these issues could be exploited remotely (from the same network segment).
