Descriptions

The dissect_frame function in epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c in the frame metadissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.8 interprets a negative integer as a length value even though it was intended to represent an error condition, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_frame en epan/dissectors/packet-frame.c en el marco metadissector en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.8 interpreta un entero negativo como un valor de longitud aunque la intención era de representar una condición de error, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Wireshark, the worst of which allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. Versions less than 1.10.8 are affected.
