Descriptions
epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c in the WCP dissector in Wireshark 1.10.x before 1.10.14 and 1.12.x before 1.12.5 improperly refers to previously processed bytes, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-2188.
epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c en el disector WCP en Wireshark 1.10.x anterior a 1.10.14 y 1.12.x anterior a 1.12.5 refiere incorrectamente a bytes previamente procesados, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-2188.
A flaw was found in WCP dissector of wireshark of which an attacker could crash wireshark by injecting a specially crafted packet onto the wire or by convincing wireshark user to read malformed packet trace file.

Wireshark could crash or stop responding if it read a malformed packet off a network, or opened a malicious dump file.
