Descriptions

The dissect_hip_tlv function in epan/dissectors/packet-hip.c in the HIP dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not properly handle a NULL tree, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_hip_tlv en epan/dissectors/packet-hip.c en el diseccionador HIP en Wireshark 1.12.x anterior a 1.12.1 no maneja adecuadamente un árbol nulo, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de un paquete manipulado.
