Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper input validation

EUVDB-ID: #VU16190

Risk: Low

CVSSv3.1: 5.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19625

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can inject a malformed packet into a network, to be processed by the affected application, or trick the victim into opening a malicious packet trace file and cause the Wireshark dissection engine to crash.

Mitigation

The vulnerability has been addressed in the versions 2.4.11, 2.6.5.

Vulnerable software versions

Wireshark: 2.4.0 - 2.6.4
