Descriptions

The dissect_ber_GeneralizedTime function in epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c in the BER dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 improperly checks an sscanf return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_ber_GeneralizedTime en epan/dissectors/packet-ber.c en el disector BER en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.9 y 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 verifica indebidamente un valor de retorno sscanf, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través un paquete manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for Pcapng, NBAP, UMTS FP, DCOM, AllJoyn, T.38, SDP, NLM, DNS, BED, SCTP, 802.11, DIAMETER, VeriWave, RVSP, ANSi A, GSM A, Ascend, NBAP, ZigBee ZCL and Sniffer which could result in denial of service.
