Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.13 Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.5

Description The issue arises from the dissect server info function in the MS-MMS dissector, which does not properly manage string lengths. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, via a malformed packet. The packet can either trigger an integer overflow or contain embedded '0' characters in a string.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.6.x through 1.6.13, update to version 1.6.14 or later. For Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.5, update to version 1.8.6 or later.
