Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.10.x through 1.10.0

Description The issue arises from the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector in Wireshark, which fails to properly determine if there are remaining packet data to process. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, by sending a crafted packet. No information is provided about the estimated number of potentially affected devices or real-world incidents where this issue was exploited.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.10.x through 1.10.0, update to version 1.10.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the DCOM ISystemActivator dissector to minimize the risk of exploitation.
