Descriptions

The logcat_dump_text function in wiretap/logcat.c in the Android Logcat file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.5 does not properly handle a lack of \0 termination, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted message in a packet, a different vulnerability than CVE-2015-3815.

La función logcat_dump_text en wiretap/logcat.c en el analizador sintáctico de ficheros de Android Logcat en Wireshark 1.12.x anterior a 1.12.5 no maneja correctamente la falta de la terminación \0, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de un mensaje manipulado en un paquete, una vulnerabilidad diferente a CVE-2015-3815.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Wireshark, allowing attackers to cause Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 1.12.7 are affected.
