Wireshark · Wireshark · CVE-2013-3559
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.6
**Description**
The issue is related to the use of incorrect integer data types in the DCP ETSI dissector, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service. This can be achieved by sending a malformed packet, resulting in an integer overflow, heap memory corruption, or a NULL pointer dereference, ultimately leading to an application crash.
**Recommendations**
For Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.6, update to version 1.8.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the DCP ETSI dissector until a patch is applied.
