The installed version of Wireshark is 1.6.x before 1.6.6. This version is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  • An error exists in the pcap and pcap-ng parsers that can allow them to crash when reading ‘ERF’ data.
    (Issue 6804)

  • An error exists in the IEEE 802.11 dissector that can cause it to go into an infinite loop. (Issue 6809)

  • An error exists in the ‘ANSI A’ dissector that can allow it to crash after dereferencing a NULL pointer.
    (Issue 6823)

  • An error exists in the ‘MP2T’ dissector that can allow it to allocate too much memory thus resulting in crashes. (Issue 6833)
