Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Wireshark (Packet Analyzer Software). This affects the function dissect_oampdu_event_notification. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-20. The product receives input or data, but it does not validate or incorrectly validates that the input has the properties that are required to process the data safely and correctly. This is going to have an impact on availability. The summary by CVE is:

The dissect_oampdu_event_notification function in epan/dissectors/packet-slowprotocols.c in the IEEE 802.3 Slow Protocols dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.13 and 1.8.x before 1.8.5 does not properly handle certain short lengths, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a malformed packet.

The weakness was shared 02/02/2013 by Laurent Butti as Bug 8036 as not defined bug report (Bugzilla). The advisory is shared at bugs.wireshark.org.
