Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 7 vulnerabilities.

1) Infinite loop

EUVDB-ID: #VU16193

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 4.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2018-19622

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

Exploit availability: No

Description

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

The vulnerability exists due to infinite loop when handling 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 MMSE dissector to crash.

Mitigation

Install updates from vendor's repository.
