Topic

Updated wireshark packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs,
and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security
impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give
detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the
CVE links in the References section.

Description

The wireshark packages contain a network protocol analyzer used to capture
and browse the traffic running on a computer network.

Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could
crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or
opened a malicious dump file. (CVE-2015-2188, CVE-2015-2189, CVE-2015-2191,
CVE-2015-3810, CVE-2015-3811, CVE-2015-3812, CVE-2015-3813, CVE-2014-8710,
CVE-2014-8711, CVE-2014-8712, CVE-2014-8713, CVE-2014-8714, CVE-2015-0562,
CVE-2015-0563, CVE-2015-0564, CVE-2015-3182, CVE-2015-6243, CVE-2015-6244,
CVE-2015-6245, CVE-2015-6246, CVE-2015-6248)

The CVE-2015-3182 issue was discovered by Martin Žember of Red Hat.

The wireshark packages have been upgraded to upstream version 1.10.14,
which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous
version. (BZ#1238676)

This update also fixes the following bug:

• Prior to this update, when using the tshark utility to capture packets

over the interface, tshark failed to create output files in the .pcap
format even if it was specified using the "-F" option. This bug has been
fixed, the "-F" option is now honored, and the result saved in the .pcap
format as expected. (BZ#1227199)

In addition, this update adds the following enhancement:

• Previously, wireshark included only microseconds in the .pcapng format.

With this update, wireshark supports nanosecond time stamp precision to
allow for more accurate time stamps. (BZ#1213339)

All wireshark users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
correct these issues and add these enhancements. All running instances of
Wireshark must be restarted for the update to take effect.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
