Descriptions
The dissect_isakmp function in epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c in the ISAKMP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.12 and 1.8.x before 1.8.4 uses an incorrect data structure to determine IKEv2 decryption parameters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a malformed packet.
La función dissect_isakmp en epan/dissectors/packet-isakmp.c en el disecctor ISAKMP en Wireshark v1.6.x anterior a v1.6.12 y v1.8.x anterior a v1.8.4 usa una estructura de datos incorrecta para determinar los parámetros IKEv2, lo que permite a atacantes remotos generar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) mediante un paquete malformado.
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.
