| Description: | Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer.It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network.Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet offa network or opened a malicious dump file, it could crash or, possibly,execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. (CVE-2013-3559,CVE-2013-4083)Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark couldcrash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, oropened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2012-2392, CVE-2012-3825, CVE-2012-4285,CVE-2012-4288, CVE-2012-4289, CVE-2012-4290, CVE-2012-4291, CVE-2012-4292,CVE-2012-5595, CVE-2012-5597, CVE-2012-5598, CVE-2012-5599, CVE-2012-5600,CVE-2012-6056, CVE-2012-6059, CVE-2012-6060, CVE-2012-6061, CVE-2012-6062,CVE-2013-3557, CVE-2013-3561, CVE-2013-4081, CVE-2013-4927, CVE-2013-4931,CVE-2013-4932, CVE-2013-4933, CVE-2013-4934, CVE-2013-4935, CVE-2013-4936,CVE-2013-5721)The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.8.10, whichprovides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous versions.For more information on the bugs fixed, enhancements included, andsupported protocols introduced, refer to the Wireshark Release Notes,linked to in the References. (BZ#711024)This update also fixes the following bugs:* Previously, Wireshark did not parse the RECLAIM-COMPLETE opcode wheninspecting traffic generated by NFSv4.1. A patch has been provided toenable the parsing of the RECLAIM_COMPLETE opcode, and Wireshark is nowable to properly dissect and handle NFSv4.1 traffic. (BZ#750712)* Prior to this update, frame arrival times in a text file were reportedone hour ahead from the timestamps in the packet capture file.This resulted in various failures being reported by the dfilter-test.pytest suite. To fix this bug, frame arrival timestamps have been shifted byone hour, thus fixing this bug. (BZ#832021)* The "tshark -D" command returned output to STDERR instead of STDOUT,which could break scripts that are parsing the "tshark -D" output. This bughas been fixed, and the "tshark -D" command now writes output data to acorrect standard stream. (BZ#1004636)* Due to an array overrun, Wireshark could experience undefined programbehavior or could unexpectedly terminate. With this update, proper arrayhandling ensures Wireshark no longer crashes in the described scenario.(BZ#715560)* Previously, the dftest and randpkt command line utilities lacked manualpages. This update adds proper manual pages for both utilities. (BZ#659661)In addition, this update adds the following enhancements:* With this update, Wireshark is able to properly dissect and handleInfiniBand and GlusterFS traffic. (BZ#699636, BZ#858976)All Wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, whichcontain backported patches to correct these issues and add theseenhancements. All running instances of Wireshark must be restarted for theupdate to take effect. |
