Detailsinfo

A vulnerability was found in Wireshark up to 2.0.2 (Packet Analyzer Software) and classified as problematic. This issue affects an unknown part of the file epan/dissectors/packet-mswsp.c of the component MS-WSP Dissector. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a input validation vulnerability. Using CWE to declare the problem leads to 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. Impacted is availability. The summary by CVE is:

epan/dissectors/packet-mswsp.c in the MS-WSP dissector in Wireshark 2.0.x before 2.0.3 does not ensure that data is available before array allocation, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted packet.

The weakness was released 04/25/2016 (Website). The advisory is shared at code.wireshark.org. The identification of this vulnerability is CVE-2016-4083 since 04/24/2016.
