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

Description The issue affects the CUPS dissector in Wireshark, specifically the get quoted string and get unquoted string functions in epan/dissectors/packet-cups.c. It allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service, resulting in a buffer over-read and application crash, via a CUPS packet that lacks a trailing '0' character.

Recommendations For Wireshark versions 1.12.x through 1.12.0, update to version 1.12.1 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting the use of the CUPS dissector until a patch is available.
