Detailed Description |
The installed version of Wireshark 1.6 is earlier than 1.6.12. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- Errors exist related to the USB, ICMPv6, iSCSI, WTP, and RTCP dissectors that could allow denial of service attacks by putting the application into an infinite loop. (Bug 7787, 7844, 7858, 7869, 7879)
- An error exists in the ISAKMP dissector that could allow a malformed packet to crash the application. (Bug 7855)
* Note: This check requires an account with administrative privileges which can log into the host to scan. Absence of this condition will result in the check not being performed and a False Negative for all vulnerable hosts.
