Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) Buffer overflow

EUVDB-ID: #VU41544

Risk: High

CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-4174

CWE-ID: CWE-119 - Memory corruption

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code.

wiretap/libpcap.c in the libpcap file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.4 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted packet-trace file that includes a large packet.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

Vulnerable software versions

2) Input validation error

EUVDB-ID: #VU42225

Risk: Medium

CVSSv3.1: 4.6 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]

CVE-ID: CVE-2013-7113

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

epan/dissectors/packet-bssgp.c in the BSSGP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.4 incorrectly relies on a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
