Descriptions

In Wireshark 2.2.0 to 2.2.5 and 2.0.0 to 2.0.11, the RPC over RDMA dissector could go into an infinite loop, triggered by packet injection or a malformed capture file. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-rpcrdma.c by correctly checking for going beyond the maximum offset.

En Wireshark 2.2.0 a 2.2.5 y 2.0.0 a 2.0.11, el disector RPC sobre RDMA podría entrar en un bucle infinito, desencadenado por un paquete de inyección o un archivo de captura mal formado. Esto se trató en epan/dissectors/packet-rpcrdma.c comprobando correctamente si va más allá del desplazamiento máximo.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in Wireshark, the worst of which allows remote attackers to cause a Denial of Service condition. Versions less than 2.2.6 are affected.
