Detailsinfo

A vulnerability, which was classified as problematic, was found in Wireshark up to 1.12.8 (Packet Analyzer Software). Affected is the function dissect_dcom_OBJREF of the file epan/dissectors/packet-dcom.c of the component IPv4 Data Structure Handler. 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. CVE summarizes:

The dissect_dcom_OBJREF function in epan/dissectors/packet-dcom.c in the DCOM dissector in Wireshark 1.12.x before 1.12.9 does not initialize a certain IPv4 data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.
