Descriptions

The dissect_log function in plugins/irda/packet-irda.c in the IrDA dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '
' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_log en plugins/irda/packet-irda.c en el diseccionador de IrDA en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.9 no elimina debidamente los caracteres '
', lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (subdesbordamiento de buffer y caída de la aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered and corrected in wireshark. The updated packages have been upgraded to the 1.10.9 version where these security flaws have been fixed.
