Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.7

Description The issue is related to the vwr read function in the Ixia IxVeriWave file parser, which does not validate the relationship between a record length and a trailer length. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow and application crash, via a crafted packet.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.8.x through 1.8.7, update to version 1.8.8 or later to resolve the issue.
