Descriptions

The nfs_name_snoop_add_name function in epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c in the NFS dissector in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.13 and 1.10.x before 1.10.6 does not validate a certain length value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and application crash) via a crafted NFS packet.

La función nfs_name_snoop_add_name en epan/dissectors/packet-nfs.c en el diseccionador de NFS en Wireshark 1.8.x anterior a 1.8.13 y 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.6 no válida un cierto valor de longitud, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete NFS manipulado.

Wireshark is a network protocol analyzer. It is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network. Multiple 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.
