Descriptions

The dissect_capwap_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c in the CAPWAP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 incorrectly uses a -1 data value to represent an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_capwap_data en epan/dissectors/packet-capwap.c en el dissector CAPWAP en Wireshark v1.6.x anterior a v1.6.16 y v1.8.x anterior a v1.8.8 usa incorrectamente un valor de -1 para representar un error de condición, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) mediante un paquete especialmente diseñado.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors for CAPWAP, GMR-1 BCCH, PPP, NBAP, RDP, HTTP, DCP ETSI and in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
