Descriptions
epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c in the RLC dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.13 and 2.x before 2.0.5 uses an incorrect integer data type, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (large loop) via a crafted packet.
epan/dissectors/packet-rlc.c en el disector RLC en Wireshark 1.12.x en versiones anteriores a 1.12.13 y 2.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.5 utiliza un tipo de datos de entero incorrecto, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle grande) 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.
