Descriptions

epan/dissectors/packet-wap.c in Wireshark 2.x before 2.0.5 omits an overflow check in the tvb_get_guintvar function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a crafted packet, related to the MMSE, WAP, WBXML, and WSP dissectors.

epan/dissectors/packet-wap.c in Wireshark 2.x en versiones anteriores a 2.0.5 omite una comprobación de desbordamiento en la función tvb_get_guintvar, lo que permite a atacantes remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito) a través de un paquete manipulado, relacionado con los disertores MMSE, WAP, WBXML y WSP.
