Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.2.x through 1.2.16 Wireshark versions 1.4.x through 1.4.6

Description The issue is caused by an integer underflow in the visual read function, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by crashing the application. This is achieved through a malformed Visual Networks file that triggers a heap-based buffer over-read.
