Descriptions

The http_payload_subdissector function in epan/dissectors/packet-http.c in the HTTP dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.16 and 1.8.x before 1.8.8 does not properly determine when to use a recursive approach, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted packet.

La función http_payload_subdissector en epan/dissectors/packet-http.c en el HTTP dissector en Wireshark 1.6.x anterior a 1.6.16 y 1.8.x anterior a 1.8.8, no determina adecuadamente cuando se utiliza una aproximación recursiva, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (consumo de pila) a través de un paquete manipulado.
