Descriptions

Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.11 and 1.6.x before 1.6.5 does not properly perform certain string conversions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet, related to epan/to_str.c.

Wireshark 1.4.x anteriores a 1.4.11 y 1.6.x anteriores a 1.6.5 no realizan convenientemente determinadas conversiones de cadena ("string"), lo que permite a atacants remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (resolución de puntero nulo y caída de la aplicación) a través de un paquete modificado, relacionado con epan/to_str.c.
