Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.10.x through 1.10.9 Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.0

Description The issue exists in the SnifferDecompress function in the DOS Sniffer file parser, which does not prevent data overwrites during copy operations. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an application crash, via a crafted file.
