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.
