Descriptions

In Wireshark 2.4.0 to 2.4.3 and 2.2.0 to 2.2.11, the WCP dissector could crash. This was addressed in epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c by validating the available buffer length.

En Wireshark 2.4.0 a 2.4.3 y 2.2.0 a 2.2.11, el disector WCP podría cerrarse inesperadamente. Esto se trató en epan/dissectors/packet-wcp.c validando la longitud del búfer disponible.

It was discovered that wireshark, a network protocol analyzer, contained several vulnerabilities in the dissectors/file parsers for IxVeriWave, WCP, JSON, XML, NTP, XMPP and GDB, which could result in denial of dervice or the execution of arbitrary code.
