Description

This security bulletin contains information about 9 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4936)

The vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input. A remote attacker can cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet.


2) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4921)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Off-by-one error in the dissect_radiotap function in epan/dissectors/packet-ieee80211-radiotap.c in the Radiotap dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.


3) Resource management error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4922)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Double free vulnerability in the dissect_dcom_ActivationProperties function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcom-sysact.c in the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.


4) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4923)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to memory leak within the dissect_dcom_ActivationProperties function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcom-sysact.c in the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via crafted packets. A remote attacker can perform a denial of service attack.


5) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4924)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

epan/dissectors/packet-dcom-sysact.c in the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly validate certain index values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet.


6) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4925)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

Integer signedness error in epan/dissectors/packet-dcom-sysact.c in the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and daemon exit) via a crafted packet.


7) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4926)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

epan/dissectors/packet-dcom-sysact.c in the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly determine whether there is remaining packet data to process, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.


8) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4928)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

Integer signedness error in the dissect_headers function in epan/dissectors/packet-btobex.c in the Bluetooth OBEX dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.


9) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-4920)

The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to perform service disruption.

The P1 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.1 does not properly initialize a global variable, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
