Summary
Security update for wireshark
Details

This update for wireshark to version 2.2.12 fixes the following issues:

  • CVE-2018-5334: IxVeriWave file could crash (bsc#1075737)
  • CVE-2018-5335: WCP dissector could crash (bsc#1075738)
  • CVE-2018-5336: Multiple dissector crashes (bsc#1075739)
  • CVE-2017-17935: Incorrect handling of '\n' in filereadline function could have lead to denial of service (bsc#1074171)

This release no longer enables the Linux kernel BPF JIT compiler via the net.core.bpfjitenable sysctl, as this would make systems more vulnerable to Spectre variant 1 CVE-2017-5753 - (bsc#1075748)

Further bug fixes and updated protocol support as listed in: https://www.wireshark.org/docs/relnotes/wireshark-2.2.12.html
