Descriptions

epan/dissectors/packet-smtp.c in the SMTP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.12 and 1.12.x before 1.12.3 uses an incorrect length value for certain string-append operations, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

epan/dissectors/packet-smtp.c en el disector SMTP en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.12 y 1.12.x anterior a 1.12.3 utiliza un valor de longitud incorrecto para ciertas operaciones 'string-append', lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de la aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.

The wireshark packages contain a network protocol analyzer 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.
