Background ========== Wireshark is a versatile network protocol analyzer. Affected packages ================= ------------------------------------------------------------------- Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected ------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 net-analyzer/wireshark < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1 Description =========== Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in Wireshark: * A buffer overflow in the IPMI dissector related to an array index error (CVE-2009-2559). * Multiple unspecified vulnerabilities in the Bluetooth L2CAP, RADIUS, and MIOP dissectors (CVE-2009-2560). * An unspecified vulnerability in the sFlow dissector (CVE-2009-2561). * An unspecified vulnerability in the AFS dissector (CVE-2009-2562). * An unspecified vulnerability in the Infiniband dissector when running on unspecified platforms (CVE-2009-2563). Impact ====== A remote attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities by sending specially crafted packets on a network being monitored by Wireshark or by enticing a user to read a malformed packet trace file to cause 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-1.2.1 References ========== [ 1 ] CVE-2009-2559 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2559 [ 2 ] CVE-2009-2560 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2560 [ 3 ] CVE-2009-2561 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2561 [ 4 ] CVE-2009-2562 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2562 [ 5 ] CVE-2009-2563 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2009-2563 Availability ============ This GLSA and any updates to it are available for viewing at the Gentoo Security Website: http://security.gentoo.org/glsa/glsa-200909-16.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.
