High

Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.12 Wireshark versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.1

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in the dissect ldss transfer function in the LDSS dissector. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via an LDSS packet with a long digest line that triggers memory corruption.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.2.0 through 1.2.12, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk. For Wireshark versions 1.4.0 through 1.4.1, update to a version outside of this range to mitigate the risk. As a temporary workaround, consider disabling the dissect ldss transfer function until a patch is available.
