Descriptions
The ascend_seek function in wiretap/ascendtext.c in the Ascend file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not ensure the presence of a '\0' character at the end of a date string, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file.
La función ascend_seek en wiretap/ascendtext.c en el analizador de archivo Ascend en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.9 y 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 no asegura la presencia de de un caracter '\0' al final de una cadena fecha, 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.
