Descriptions
The ngsniffer_process_record function in wiretap/ngsniffer.c in the Sniffer file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 and 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not validate the relationships between record lengths and record header lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via a crafted file.
La función ngsniffer_process_record en wiretap/ngsniffer.c en el analizador de archivo Sniffer 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 las relaciones entre la longitud de los registros y la longitud de las cabeceras de los registros, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (lectura fuera de rango y caída de aplicación) a través de un archivo manipulado.
