CVSS Meta Temp Score CVSS is a standardized scoring system to determine possibilities of attacks. The Temp Score considers temporal factors like disclosure, exploit and countermeasures. The unique Meta Score calculates the average score of different sources to provide a normalized scoring system.	Current Exploit Price (≈) Our analysts are monitoring exploit markets and are in contact with vulnerability brokers. The range indicates the observed or calculated exploit price to be seen on exploit markets. A good indicator to understand the monetary effort required for and the popularity of an attack.	CTI Interest Score Our Cyber Threat Intelligence team is monitoring different web sites, mailing lists, exploit markets and social media networks. The CTI Interest Score identifies the interest of attackers and the security community for this specific vulnerability in real-time. A high score indicates an elevated risk to be targeted for this vulnerability.

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Wireshark up to 2.0.5 (Packet Analyzer Software). This affects an unknown functionality of the file epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi-trace.c of the component IPMI Trace Dissector. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a use after free vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-416. Referencing memory after it has been freed can cause a program to crash, use unexpected values, or execute code. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi-trace.c in the IPMI trace dissector in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.6 does not properly consider whether a string is constant, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (use-after-free and application crash) via a crafted packet.

The weakness was disclosed 09/09/2016 (Website). It is possible to read the advisory at debian.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2016-7180 since 09/08/2016. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details of the vulnerability are known, but there is no available exploit.

The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 93620 (Debian DLA-632-1 : wireshark security update), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Debian Local Security Checks and running in the context l. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 370157 (Wireshark Multiple Denial of Service Vulnerabilities (wnpa-sec-2016-50 to wnpa-sec-2016-57)).

Upgrading to version 2.0.6 eliminates this vulnerability. A possible mitigation has been published 2 weeks after the disclosure of the vulnerability.

The vulnerability is also documented in the vulnerability database at Tenable (93620). The entries 91403, 91404, 91405 and 91406 are pretty similar.
