Descriptions

The mp2t_find_next_pcr function in wiretap/mp2t.c in the MP2T file parser in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 does not reserve memory for a trailer, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (stack-based buffer overflow and application crash) via a crafted file.

La función mp2t_find_next_pcr en wiretap/mp2t.c en el analizador de archivo MP2T en Wireshark 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 no reserva memoria para un trailer, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en pila y caída de aplicación) a través de un archivo manipulado.
