Detailsinfo

A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in Wireshark up to 0.10.9 (Packet Analyzer Software). This affects an unknown code. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a format string vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-134. The product uses a function that accepts a format string as an argument, but the format string originates from an external source. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Format string vulnerability in the PROFINET/DCP (PN-DCP) dissector in Wireshark 1.0.6 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PN-DCP packet with format string specifiers in the station name. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

The bug was discovered 03/30/2009. The weakness was disclosed 04/01/2009 (Website). The advisory is shared at redhat.com. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2009-1210 since 03/31/2009. The exploitability is told to be easy. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details are unknown but a public exploit is available.

A public exploit has been developed in ANSI C. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability was handled as a non-public zero-day exploit for at least 2 days. During that time the estimated underground price was around $0-$5k. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 67871 (Oracle Linux 3 / 4 / 5 : wireshark (ELSA-2009-1100)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment.
