Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Wireshark versions 1.10.x through 1.10.8

Description The issue exists in the dissect log function in the IrDA dissector due to incorrect handling of ' ' characters. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a buffer underflow and application crash, via a crafted packet.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.10.x through 1.10.8, update to version 1.10.9 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the IrDA dissector until a patch is applied.
