Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as very critical, was found in Wireshark 1.4.2 (Packet Analyzer Software). This affects the function sect_enttec_dmx_da of the file epan/dissectors/packet-enttec.c. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a memory corruption vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-119. The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it can read from or write to a memory location that is outside of the intended boundary of the buffer. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:

Buffer overflow in the sect_enttec_dmx_da function in epan/dissectors/packet-enttec.c in Wireshark 1.4.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ENTTEC DMX packet with Run Length Encoding (RLE) compression.

The weakness was published 12/31/2010 as Bug 5539 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at bugs.wireshark.org. This vulnerability is uniquely identified as CVE-2010-4538 since 12/09/2010. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. No form of authentication is needed for exploitation. Technical details and a public exploit are known. The price for an exploit might be around USD $0-$5k at the moment (estimation calculated on 12/20/2024).

A public exploit has been developed in Python. The exploit is shared for download at securityfocus.com. It is declared as proof-of-concept. The vulnerability scanner Nessus provides a plugin with the ID 68179 (Oracle Linux 4 / 5 / 6 : wireshark (ELSA-2011-0013)), which helps to determine the existence of the flaw in a target environment. It is assigned to the family Oracle Linux Local Security Checks. The commercial vulnerability scanner Qualys is able to test this issue with plugin 118887 (Wireshark ENTTEC Dissector Buffer Overflow Vulnerability (wnpa-sec-2011-02)).

A possible mitigation has been published immediately after the disclosure of the vulnerability.
