Descriptions

epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc in the NDS dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 does not properly maintain a ptvc data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and application crash) via a crafted packet.

epan/dissectors/packet-ncp2222.inc en el disector NDS en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.13 no mantiene adecuadamente una estructura de datos ptvc, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (referencia a puntero NULL y caída de aplicación) a través de un paquete manipulado.

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in the dissectors for NDS, PacketBB, WSP, MMSE, RLC, LDSS, RLC and OpenFlow, which could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.
