Description Andrej Nemec 2018-12-04 09:47:27 UTC
In Wireshark 2.6.0 to 2.6.4 and 2.4.0 to 2.4.10, the LBMPDM dissector could crash. In addition, a remote attacker could write arbitrary data to any memory locations before the packet-scoped memory. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-lbmpdm.c by disallowing certain negative values.

Comment 1 Andrej Nemec 2018-12-04 10:01:33 UTC
Created wireshark tracking bugs for this issue:

Affects: fedora-all [bug 1655944]

Comment 2 Adam Mariš 2018-12-05 09:40:41 UTC
This issue affects wireshark since version 1.11.3 where dissector for Latency Busters Messaging was introduced.

Comment 4 Adam Mariš 2018-12-05 09:45:16 UTC
Statement:

This issue did not affect the versions of wireshark as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5, 6 and 7 as they did not include LBMPDM dissector where the vulnerability occurred.

Comment 6 Product Security DevOps Team 2019-07-12 13:06:17 UTC
This bug is now closed. Further updates for individual products will be reflected on the CVE page(s):
