Description
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15192)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince the victim into reading a malformed packet trace file and cause the Bluetooth Attribute Protocol dissector to crash.
2) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15193)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince the victim into reading a malformed packet trace file and cause the MBIM dissector to crash.
3) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15191)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince the victim into reading a malformed packet trace file and cause the DMP dissector to crash.
4) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15189)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to an infinite loop. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince the victim into reading a malformed packet trace file, consume excessive CPU resources and cause the DOCSIS dissector to crash.
5) Improper input validation (CVE-ID: CVE-2017-15190)
CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation
CVSSv4: 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/E:U/U:Clear
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet onto the wire or convince the victim into reading a malformed packet trace file and cause the RTSP dissector to crash.
