Descriptions

epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_rlcmac.c in the GSM RLC/MAC dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.7 uses incorrect integer data types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet.

Vulnerabilidad en epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_rlcmac.c en el disector GSM RLC/MAC en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.7, usa tipos de datos de enteros incorrectos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) 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.
