Descriptions

The DCERPC/NT dissector in Wireshark 0.10.10 through 1.0.9 and 1.2.0 through 1.2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a file that records a malformed packet trace. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.

El analizador DCERPC/NT en Wireshark desde v0.10.10 hasta v1.0.9 y desde v1.2.0 hasta v1.2.2 permite a atacantes remotos producir una denegación de servicio (desreferencia a puntero NULL y caída de aplicación) a través de un fichero que almacena la ruta de un paquete manipulado.
