Wireshark · Wireshark · CVE-2011-0444
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
Wireshark versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.13
Wireshark versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.2
**Description**
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the MAC-LTE dissector. This can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service, potentially leading to a crash, and may also allow the execution of arbitrary code. The attack vector involves a large number of RARs.
**Recommendations**
For Wireshark versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.13, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
For Wireshark versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.2, update to a version outside of this range to resolve the issue.
As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the MAC-LTE dissector until a patch is available.
