Descriptions

epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c in the DCP ETSI dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.7 uses incorrect integer data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow, and heap memory corruption or NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) via a malformed packet.

epan/dissectors/packet-dcp-etsi.c en el disector DCP ETSI en Wireshar v1.8.x antes de v1.8.7 utiliza tipos de datos enteros incorrectos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de enteros y corrupción de memoria dinámica o referencia a un puntero NULL y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete mal formado.

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.
