Descriptions

Buffer overflow in the mpeg_read function in wiretap/mpeg.c in the MPEG parser in Wireshark 1.8.x before 1.8.13 and 1.10.x before 1.10.6 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a large record in MPEG data.

Desbordamiento de buffer en la función mpeg_read en wiretap/mpeg.c en el analizador MPEG en Wireshark 1.8.x anterior a 1.8.13 y 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.6 permite a atacantes remotos ejecutar código arbitrario o causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un registro grande en datos MPEG.

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.
