Red Hat Product Errata RHSA-2014:1676 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE Moderate: wireshark security update 2014-10-22 00:22:29 UTC

Description Murray McAllister 2014-09-17 06:07:54 UTC 
It was reported that Wireshark's RTSP 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, and 1.10.0 to 1.10.9. It is fixed in versions 1.12.1 and 1.10.10.

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=10381

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