Descriptions

The SnifferDecompress function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the DOS Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.10 and 1.12.x before 1.12.1 does not prevent data overwrites during copy operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.

La función SnifferDecompress en wiretap/ngsniffer.c en el analizador de ficheros DOS Sniffer en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.10 y 1.12.x anterior a 1.12.1 no previene la sobreescritura de datos durante operaciones de copia, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un fichero manipulado.
