Descriptions

The decompress_sigcomp_message function in epan/sigcomp-udvm.c in the SigComp UDVM dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.11 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read and application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función decompress_sigcomp_message en epan/sigcomp-udvm.c en el diseccionador SigComp UDVM en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.11 permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (sobrelectura de buffer y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.

Wireshark, previously known as Ethereal, is a network protocol analyzer, which is used to capture and browse the traffic running on a computer network. 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.
