Descriptions
Wireshark 1.2.x before 1.2.17 and 1.4.x before 1.4.7 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted Diameter dictionary file.
Wireshark v1.2.x antes de v1.2.17 y v1.4.x antes de v1.4.7 permite a atacantes remotos asistidos por el usuario provocar una denegación de servicio ( desreferenciar puntero NULO y bloqueo de la aplicación ) a través de un archivo de diccionario manipulado.
Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network. A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way Wireshark handled Endace ERF capture files. If Wireshark opened a specially-crafted ERF capture file, it could crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code as the user running Wireshark. Several denial of service flaws were found in Wireshark. Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file.
