| Detailed Description |
The version of Wireshark installed on the remote Windows host is 2.0.x prior to 2.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple denial of service vulnerabilities :
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the CORBA IDL dissector due to improper handling of packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an application crash. Note that this vulnerability only affects 64-bit versions of Windows. (CVE-2016-6503)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to a divide-by-zero flaw in the dissect_pbb_tlvblock() function in packet-packetbb.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an
application crash. (CVE-2016-6505)
- A flaw exists in the add_headers() function in packet_wsp.c that is triggered when an offset of zero is returned by the wkh_content_disposition() function. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-6506)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists due to an incorrect integer data type used in the rlc_decode_li() function in packet-rlc.c. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a long loop and excessive CPU resource consumption, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-6508)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the dissect_ldss_transfer() function in packet-ldss.c that is triggered when recreating a conversation that already exists. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an application crash. (CVE-2016-6509)
- An overflow condition exists in the rlc_decode_li() function in packet-rlc.c due to improper validation of user-supplied input. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a stack-based buffer overflow, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-6510)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the proto_tree_add_text_valist_internal() function in proto.c due to improper handling of packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause a long loop and excessive CPU resource consumption. (CVE-2016-6511)
- Multiple flaws exist in the MMSE, WAP, WBXML, and WSP dissectors due to improper handling of packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit these issues, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an infinite loop, resulting in a denial of service condition. (CVE-2016-6512)
- A denial of service vulnerability exists in the parse_wbxml_tag_defined() function in packet-wbxml.c due to improper handling of packets. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a specially crafted packet or packet trace file, to cause an application crash. (CVE-2016-6513)
* 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.
