Background ========== Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer with a graphical front-end. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/wireshark < 1.0.2 >= 1.0.2 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities related to memory management were discovered in the GSM SMS dissector (CVE-2008-3137), the PANA and KISMET dissectors (CVE-2008-3138), the RTMPT dissector (CVE-2008-3139), the syslog dissector (CVE-2008-3140) and the RMI dissector (CVE-2008-3141) and when reassembling fragmented packets (CVE-2008-3145). Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending a specially crafted packet on a network being monitored by Wireshark or enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file, causing a Denial of Service. Workaround ========== There is no known workaround at this time. Resolution ========== All Wireshark users should upgrade to the latest version: # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-analyzer/wireshark-1.0.2" References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2008-3137 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3137 [ 2 ] CVE-2008-3138 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3138 [ 3 ] CVE-2008-3139 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3139 [ 4 ] CVE-2008-3140 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3140 [ 5 ] CVE-2008-3141 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3141 [ 6 ] CVE-2008-3145 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-3145 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200808-04.xml Concerns? ========= Security is a primary focus of Gentoo Linux and ensuring the confidentiality and security of our users machines is of utmost importance to us.
