| Detailed Description |
The installed version of Wireshark 1.8 is earlier than 1.8.3. It thus is affected by the following vulnerabilities :
- A malformed packet can cause the 'DRDA' and 'HSRP' dissectors to enter an infinite loop, thereby consuming excessive CPU resources. (CVE-2012-3548, CVE-2012-5237)
- A malformed packet can cause the 'PPP' dissector to crash the application. (CVE-2012-5238)
- A malformed packet can trigger a buffer overflow in the 'LDP' dissector, which results in an application crash. (CVE-2012-5240)
* 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.
