Descriptions

The dissect_nwp function in epan/dissectors/packet-nwp.c in the NWP dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 mishandles the packet type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

La función dissect_nwp en epan/dissectors/packet-nwp.c en el disector NWP en Wireshark 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 no maneja correctamente el tipo de paquete, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (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.
