Descriptions

wiretap/vwr.c in the VeriWave file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate certain signature and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file.

wiretap/vwr.c en el analizador de archivo VeriWave 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 ciertos datos de firma y Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS), lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de un archivo manipulado.
