El disector CIP en Wireshark v1.4.x antes de v1.4.15, v1.6.x antes de v1.6.10 y v1.8.x antes de v1.8.2 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (por excesivo consumo de memoria) a través de un paquete con formato erróneo.
Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network. Two flaws were found in Wireshark. If Wireshark read a malformed packet off a network or opened a malicious dump 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.
