Description

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.


1) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11406)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the DOCSIS dissector could go into an infinite loop. This was addressed in plugins/docsis/packet-docsis.c by rejecting invalid Frame Control parameter values.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11407)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.7 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.13, the MQ dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-mq.c by validating the fragment length before a reassembly attempt.


3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11408)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to an error in the AMQP dissector in epan/dissectors/packet-amqp.c when processing network packets. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted packet and crash the vulnerable application.


4) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11410)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c by adding validation of the relationships between indexes and lengths. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-7702.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-11411)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In Wireshark through 2.0.13 and 2.2.x through 2.2.7, the openSAFETY dissector could crash or exhaust system memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c by adding length validation. NOTE: this vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2017-9350.


6) Infinite loop (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-7702)

CWE-ID: CWE-835 - Loop with Unreachable Exit Condition ('Infinite Loop')

CVSSv4: 8.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.11, the WBXML dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wbxml.c by adding length validation.


7) Memory corruption (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-9350)

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

CVSSv4: 5.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.

The weakness exists due to memory corruption in the DICOM dissector when checking for a negative length. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet epan/dissectors/packet-opensafety.c onto the wire or persuade the target user to read a malformed packet trace file and cause the application to crash.

Successful exploitation of the vulnerability results in denial of service.
