Descriptions

Heap-based buffer overflow in the dissect_ldss_transfer function (epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c) in the LDSS dissector in Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.12 and 1.4.0 through 1.4.1 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an LDSS packet with a long digest line that triggers memory corruption.

Desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica en la función dissect_ldss_transfer (epan/dissectors/packet-ldss.c) en el disector LDSS en Wireshark v1.2.0 hasta v1.2.12 y v1.4.0 hasta v1.4.1 permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (cuelgue) y posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un paquete LDSS con una línea de resumen larga lo cual provoca corrupción en la memoria.
