Descriptions

wiretap/cosine.c in the CoSine file parser in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.12 and 2.x before 2.0.4 mishandles sscanf unsigned-integer processing, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted file.

wiretap/cosine.c en el analizador de archivo CoSine en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.12 y 2.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.4 no maneja correctamente procesamiento sin signo de entero sscanf, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (caída de aplicación) a través de un archivo manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors/parsers for PKTC, IAX2, GSM CBCH and NCP, SPOOLS, IEEE 802.11, UMTS FP, USB, Toshiba, CoSine, NetScreen, WBXML which could result in denial of service or potentially the execution of arbitrary code.
