Descriptions

Wireshark 1.4.x before 1.4.13 and 1.6.x before 1.6.8 on the SPARC and Itanium platforms does not properly perform data alignment for a certain structure member, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a (1) ICMP or (2) ICMPv6 Echo Request packet.

Wireshark 1.4.x anteriores a 1.4.13 y 1.6.x anteriores a 1.6.8 en plataformas SPARC e Itanium no realizan adecuadamente la alineación en memoria de miembros de estructuras determinados, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un paquete de petición Echo (1) ICMP o (2) ICMPv6.

Wireshark versions 1.6.0 through 1.6.7 and versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.12 suffer from a misaligned memory denial of service vulnerability.
