Descriptions

The ipmi_fmt_udpport function in epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi.c in the IPMI dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.1 improperly attempts to access a packet scope, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure and application exit) via a crafted packet.

La función ipmi_fmt_udpport en epan/dissectors/packet-ipmi.c en el disector IPMI en Wireshark 2.0.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.1 intenta acceder a un ámbito de paquete de manera inadecuada, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (fallo de aserción y salida de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.
