Descriptions

Wireshark 1.2.0 through 1.2.14, 1.4.0 through 1.4.3, and 1.5.0 frees an uninitialized pointer during processing of a .pcap file in the pcap-ng format, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a malformed file.

Wireshark versiones 1.2.0 hasta 1.2.14, versiones 1.4.0 hasta 1.4.3 y versiones 1.5.0, libera un puntero no inicializado durante el procesamiento de un archivo .pcap en el formato pcap-ng, que permite a los atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado por medio de un archivo malformado.
