Descriptions

The Mobile Identity parser in (1) epan/dissectors/packet-ansi_a.c in the ANSI A dissector and (2) epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_a_common.c in the GSM A dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 improperly uses the tvb_bcd_dig_to_wmem_packet_str function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted packet.

El analizador Mobile Identity en (1) epan/dissectors/packet-ansi_a.c en el disector ANSI A y (2) epan/dissectors/packet-gsm_a_common.c en el disector GSM A en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.9 y 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 utiliza indebidamente la función tvb_bcd_dig_to_wmem_packet_str, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer y caída de aplicación) a través de 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.
