Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Wireshark (Packet Analyzer Software). It has been classified as critical. Affected is some unknown functionality of the component ACN Dissector. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a numeric error vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-189. This is going to have an impact on availability. CVE summarizes:

The acn_add_dmp_data function in epan/dissectors/packet-acn.c in the ACN dissector in Wireshark 1.6.x before 1.6.14 and 1.8.x before 1.8.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (divide-by-zero error and application crash) via an invalid count value in ACN_DMP_ADT_D_RE DMP data.

The weakness was released 03/06/2013 by Alyssa Milburn as Wireshark 1.8.6 Release Notes as not defined release notes (Website). The advisory is available at wireshark.org. The public release was coordinated with the vendor. This vulnerability is traded as CVE-2013-2483 since 03/06/2013. The exploitability is told to be easy.
