3. Description:

 

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse

the traffic running on a computer network.

 

Multiple flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed

packet off a network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or,

possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark.

(CVE-2014-6429, CVE-2014-6430, CVE-2014-6431, CVE-2014-6432)

 

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could

crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or

opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2014-6421, CVE-2014-6422, CVE-2014-6423,

CVE-2014-6424, CVE-2014-6425, CVE-2014-6426, CVE-2014-6427, CVE-2014-6428)

 

All wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to correct these issues. All running instances

of Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.
