Descriptions

The AirPDcapPacketProcess function in epan/crypt/airpdcap.c in the 802.11 dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the relationship between the total length and the capture length, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función AirPDcapPacketProcess en epan/crypt/airpdcap.c en el disector 802.11 en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.9 y 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 no valida la relación entre la longitud total y la longitud de caputra, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.
