Descriptions

The pcap_process_pseudo_header function in wiretap/pcap-common.c in Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.12 and 1.6.x before 1.6.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a WTAP_ENCAP_ERF file containing an Extension or Multi-Channel header with an invalid pseudoheader size, related to the pcap and pcap-ng file parsers.

La función pcap_process_pseudo_header en wiretap/pcap-common.c en Wireshark v1.4.x antes de v1.4.12 y v1.6.x antes de v1.6.6 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un archivo WTAP_ENCAP_ERF que contiene una extensión o o cabecera multicanal con un tamaño de pseudo cabecera no válido. Se trata de un problema relacionado con los anaalizadores de tráfico (parsers) pcap y pcap-ng.
