Descriptions
The dissct_rsl_ipaccess_msg function in epan/dissectors/packet-rsl.c in the RSL dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not reject unknown TLV types, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted packet.
La función dissct_rsl_ipaccess_msg en epan/dissectors/packet-rsl.c en el disector RSL en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.9 y 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 no rechaza tipos TLV desconocidos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.
Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Wireshark, allowing local attackers to escalate privileges and remote attackers to cause Denial of Service. Versions less than 2.0.2 are affected.
