Title: Wireshark 1.0.2 Multiple Vulnerabilities
Severity: MODERATE
Description:
Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) is an application for analyzing network traffic; it is available for Microsoft Windows and UNIX-like operating systems.
Wireshark is prone to multiple vulnerabilities when handling certain types of packets and protocols in varying conditions.
1. Multiple buffer-overflow and denial-of-service vulnerabilities occur in the NCP dissector. Specifically, the 'epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc' file is affected.
2. A denial-of-service vulnerability occurs in the 'tvbuff.c' file when uncompressing a specially crafted zlib-compressed packet.
3. A denial-of-service issue occurs when parsing a Tektronix '.rf5' file.
Exploiting these issues may allow attackers to crash the application and deny service to legitimate users. Attackers may be able to leverage some of these vulnerabilities to execute arbitrary code, but this has not been confirmed.
These issues affect Wireshark 0.9.7 up to and including 1.0.2.
