Description Murray McAllister 2014-11-13 04:29:14 UTC
It was reported that Wireshark's AMQP dissector could crash. It may be possible to make Wireshark crash by injecting a malformed packet onto the wire or by convincing someone to read a malformed packet trace file.

This is reported to affect Wireshark versions 1.12.0 to 1.12.1, and 1.10.0 to 1.10.10. It is fixed in versions 1.12.2 and 1.10.11.

The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 is older than 1.10.x, and may not be affected. The version of Wireshark in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is affected.

Analysis
========

In the various places of the amqp_0_10 code 32 bit size field is used as the size of the following data field which creates potential for overflows when using 32 bit arithmetic.
