Descriptions

The read_new_line function in wiretap/catapult_dct2000.c in the Catapult DCT2000 dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.9 does not properly strip '
' and '\r' characters, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (off-by-one buffer underflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función read_new_line en wiretap/catapult_dct2000.c en el diseccionador Catapult DCT2000 en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.9 no elimina debidamente los caracteres '
' y '\r', lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (subdesbordamiento de buffer de superación de limite 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.
