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.
