Descriptions

The pcapng_read_packet_block function in wiretap/pcapng.c in the pcap-ng file parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.2 allows user-assisted remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via a crafted pcap-ng file.

La función pcapng_read_packet_block en wiretap/pcapng.c en un fichero pcap-ng del parseador en Wireshark v1.8.x anterior a v1.8.2 permite a usuarios asistidos por atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (error por división por cero y caída de la aplicación) a través de un fichero pcap-ng.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Wireshark, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service. Versions less than 1.10.1 are affected.
