Descriptions

The SDP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 creates duplicate hashtables for a media channel, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet to the RTP dissector.

El diseccionador SDP en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.10 crea tablas hash duplicadas para un canal de medios, lo que permite a un atacante causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado hacia el diseccionador RTP.

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.
