Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.
1) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU41428
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-2014-5161
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The dissect_log function in plugins/irda/packet-irda.c in the IrDA dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip ' ' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
net-analyzer/wireshark to version: 1.10.9
Gentoo Linux: All versions

2) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU41429
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-2014-5162
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The read_new_line function in wiretap/catapult_dct2000.c in the Catapult DCT2000 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip ' ' and ' ' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (off-by-one buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
net-analyzer/wireshark to version: 1.10.9
Gentoo Linux: All versions

3) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU41430
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-2014-5163
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The APN decode functionality in (1) epan/dissectors/packet-gtp.c and (2) epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_a_gm.c in the GTP and GSM Management dissectors in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not completely initialize a certain buffer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
net-analyzer/wireshark to version: 1.10.9
Gentoo Linux: All versions
CPE2.3 External linkshttp://security.gentoo.org/

4) Buffer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU41431
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-2014-5164
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The rlc_decode_li function in epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 initializes a certain structure member only after this member is used, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.

CVE-ID: CVE-2014-5165
CWE-ID:
CWE-119 - Memory corruption
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.
The dissect_ber_constrained_bitstring function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the ASN.1 BER dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly validate padding values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
