CVE-2007-6721

TITLE

Wireshark contains an unspecified vulnerability in the XOT dissector

DESCRIPTION

The Legion of the Bouncy Castle Java Cryptography API before release 1.38, as used in Crypto Provider Package before 1.36, has unknown impact and remote attack vectors related to "a Bleichenbacher vulnerability in simple RSA CMS signatures without signed attributes.". Wireshark contains a vulnerability in the XOT dissector that may cause the application to crash. A flaw in the OpenSSL library could allow a remote attacker to cause a denial of service on an affected application. Multiple RSA implementations fail to properly handle RSA signatures. This vulnerability may allow an attacker to forge RSA signatures. The NSS libraries used in the Sun One Application Server and the Sun Java System web server contain an unspecified vulnerability that may allow an attacker to create a denial-of-service condition. An attacker may exploit this issue to sign digital certificates or RSA keys and take advantage of trust relationships that depend on these credentials, possibly posing as a trusted party and signing a certificate or key. All versions prior to and including OpenSSL 0.9.7j and 0.9.8b are affected by this vulnerability. Updates are available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Want to work within IT-Security? Secunia is expanding its team of highly skilled security experts.

The vulnerabilities have been reported in version 1.3.5. SOLUTION: Do not unpack untrusted archive files.
